Dose pole models for praziquantel administration. Original World Health Organization (WHO) pediatric dose pole with height categories and corresponding number of 600 mg tablets to administer (left). Modified dose pole for adults with additional half-tablet categories and new height cut-offs in red (right). The tables below each pole show the percentage of adults who would have received an inadequate dose (< 30 mg/kg), acceptable dose (30–40 mg/kg), optimal dose (40–60 mg/kg), and high dose (> 60 mg/kg) of praziquantel.
