The application generates a prescription script based on the inputs given including the total amount of the drug to dispense based on dosing calculation and dosing frequency.

The application displays warnings and alerts for overdosing/overprescribing based on published recommendations provided by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentists.

A notes section displays some tips from a Board Certified Pediatric Dentist for prescribing antibiotics for pediatric patients.
