Formula: Remaining dose = initial dose × 0.5^(elapsed time / half-life)
Calculate estimated caffeine remaining using the values and assumptions you provide.
- initialMg
- Initial dose (mg)
- hours
- Elapsed time (hours)
- halfLife
- Estimated half-life (hours)
Results depend on the assumptions entered; verify professional or safety-critical decisions independently.
