## Post #1 by @siljelb

I'm in the process of adding a new unit property to the Archetype Designer units file, for units like "mg per kg body weight per day" or "ml per m^2 body surface area per day", but I'm not sure about the name of this property. I'm thinking "dose rate", but I'm open to suggestions.

Edit: Perhaps "medication dose rate", to avoid confusion with "radiation dose".
