In memory of Steve Jobs, 1955 - 2011,

"Don't be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice, heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

- Steve Jobs, 2005

INTRODUCTION
Managing a patient's benzodiazepine medication regimen has become an increasingly difficult task as their popularity in use continues to increase. They are commonly used to treat a wide range of disorders including anxiety, social phobias, insomnia, muscle spasms, and myofascial pain. They also have anticonvulsant and sedating or hypnotic properties among others.

eBenzo™ is a powerful and flexible oral benzodiazepine dose converter for the iPhone™ and iPod touch® which includes a suite of useful functions that can perform complicated benzodiazepine medication dose conversions.

POWER
Other conventional oral benzodiazepine dose calculators may use the overly simplistic method of converting the number of milligrams of one benzodiazepine to the number of milligrams of another using a single conversion factor.

eBenzo™, however, is able to produce more complicated conversions for benzodiazepines in which the equivalent dose is actually not a single value, but a relatively large range of possible values.

VERSATILITY
eBenzo™ not only calculates the number of milligrams for the new, replacement benzodiazepine of interest, but searches its database for the replacement benzodiazepine's available different sizes of tablets and available dosing time intervals. It can then display the new dose in terms of a potentially more useful output, such as “diazepam 10 mg tablet, 1 orally q 8 hours”, rather than just stating “diazepam 30 mg”.

An almost unlimited number of separate benzodiazepines that a patient may be using can be entered for consideration. If a patient is simultaneously using many different ones such as alprazolam, clonazepam, lorazepam, etc, these can all be entered.

FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION
Even with the multitude of different features offered with eBenzo™, its interface is refreshingly clean and logical. It was designed to be intuitive and is a true example of form following function.
