    The TNK dosing chart (table 7) is very misleading. For example, if you look quickly at the chart in an emergency situation you may conclude that there is a minimum dose of 15mg because the row for <60 kg says the dose is “15mg”.

  • Decent

    I welcome an addition to myriad of pharmacy podcasts. I wish the music was not as loud as compared to the rest of the podcast. At least a few times the information was raw and abstract.
