Dosing Calculator
By using the slider bar below, you can calculate the number of vials and volume of Vyxeos® Liposomal required per infusion to treat your patients.
Drag the blue button across the white slider bar in order to select your patient’s body surface area (m2). The body surface area variable will automatically snap to the nearest recognised figure. The dosing calculator will then calculate and return the corresponding induction and consolidation figures needed below:
Induction: Days 1, 3 and 5. Second induction and consolidation: Days 1 and 3.1

Calculating Vyxeos Liposomal Dose
To determine the dose and number of vials you will need for each patient, calculate the volume of reconstituted Vyxeos Liposomal required using the following formula:1
- Each vial contains 44 mg of daunorubicin and 100 mg of cytarabine.1
- After reconstitution, the solution contains 2.2 mg/mL daunorubicin and 5 mg/mL cytarabine, encapsulated in liposomes in a fixed combination in a 1:5 molar ratio.1
