This document discusses three methods for calculating pediatric drug doses based on a child's age or physical characteristics compared to an adult dose. The first method uses Young's rule, Dilling's rule, or Fried's rule to calculate a dose based on the child's age. The second method is Clarke's rule for calculating based on body weight. The third method calculates dose based on body surface area, using a child's measurement compared to an average adult surface area.
