Antibiotic Kinetics, is offered, in separate versions, for these platforms:
APK, is offered in either a Windows only version, or the combined Windows and PDA suite.
Kinetics©, is offered for these platforms:
Antibiotic Kinetics© does not save patient data or keep a history of your pk consults. Antibiotic Kinetics© is a simplified pk dosage calculator only, it does not keep records.
Kinetics© and APK© each have an integrated patient database designed to keep a permanent patient history and record of consults. They differ somewhat in their database implementation.
APK© has two patient tables, active and inactive. Patients are discharged from the database when they are off service, but may be reactivated. Kinetics© patients are listed in a single data table.
Kinetics© saves serum level data for all consults, whereas APK© only saves serum levels from the most recent consult.
Both Kinetics© and APK© save a summary of each printed consult for reporting purposes.

Digoxin: steady-state single-point linear method.
Heparin: steady-state single-point linear method.
Theophylline: non-steady-state 2-point method, steady-state single-point linear method.
Available one-compartment serum level analysis methods
Kinetics© is targeted for adults only, the minimum age supported by Kinetics© is 12 years.
Antibiotic Kinetics© and APK© support adults, peds and infants over 2kg.
None of our programs should be used in neonates.
Antibiotic Kinetics© is a single user program. It is not designed for data sharing or for installation on a network (LAN).
Kinetics© and APK© are both multi-user enabled programs, they differ somewhat in their network installation.
Kinetics© uses Microsoft's Jet database and is closely tied in with Windows, therefore, it must be installed on each PC, with the database copied to the server.
APK© on the other hand is a completely self-contained program. It may be installed on the server and each PC connected to your network can access it with a simple desktop shortcut.
