Practical Applications
This calculator helps you:
- Compare different medication packages of varying sizes to find the most cost-effective option
- Understand the actual cost of each dose when purchasing larger packs
- Identify potential savings when buying in bulk versus smaller packages
Example
Suppose you have two medication options:
- Option A: $60.00 for 60 doses (Cost per dose: $1.00)
- Option B: $45.00 for 30 doses (Cost per dose: $1.50)
In this case, Option A is more cost-effective despite having a higher total price.
