Result
Benzodiazepine Conversion Calculator Convert a dose of one benzodiazepine into an approximately equivalent dose of another, using standard diazepam-equivalent values. Choose the drug you're converting from, the drug you're converting to, and the dose. The — free online calculator.
Formula
- Benzodiazepine Conversion Calculator calculates its result from Current dose, Diazepam-equivalent factor for source drug, Diazepam-equivalent factor for target drug. It uses the formula Diazepam-eq = (dose ÷ from-drug 10 mg-equivalent) × 10; Target dose = (Diazepam-eq ÷ 10) × to-drug 10 mg-equivalent. Change any input to recalculate the result instantly. This is an informational calculation and is not medical advice.
- The main inputs are Current dose, Diazepam-equivalent factor for source drug, Diazepam-equivalent factor for target drug. Enter them in the units and format shown in the calculator.
- Use the measurement units shown beside each field. The result is an estimate and should be interpreted in context.
- Changing any input above recalculates the result with the same calculation engine used by this page.
Example: Benzodiazepine Conversion
- Current dose: 1
- Diazepam-equivalent factor for source drug: 10
- Diazepam-equivalent factor for target drug: 5
Using Current dose = 1, Diazepam-equivalent factor for source drug = 10, Diazepam-equivalent factor for target drug = 5, the calculated result is Diazepam-equivalent: 10 | Target equivalent: 2.
