Cefepime

One or two intact local summaries. No averaged regimen, patient-specific dose or automatic source preference.

Selecting here opens the current stored cards. The pinned link below records their fingerprints. Do not enter patient information in links or searches.

1 local source card selected. Local card fingerprints checked where supplied. This is not an original-document hash, source-currency guarantee or clinical approval. Record-level cautions below are the current library's cautions, not a frozen prior version.

Copy is optional; the link can be selected and copied manually. No patient data or dose decision is collected.

Clinical context remains essential

Independent clinical review is pending. Confirm indication, exact formulation/route, population, renal measure and units, kidney-function stability, dialysis prescription, interacting drugs, monitoring and source revision. An RX mirror and its original label are not independent corroboration. Missing disagreement notes do not certify agreement.

The source introductory threshold is rendered =60; the source table is preserved separately. This is not a newly verified label transcription.

Documented differences and cautions on this drug

All record notes are retained here, including notes about sources not selected in this review.

Daily post-HD timing is not the same as post-HD-only dosing

Label and institutional sources include daily dosing and post-dialysis-only schedules. Their indication, dialysis frequency, infusion, and exposure assumptions differ.

What to reconcile: Select one complete locally approved regimen; do not add a daily dose on top of a post-HD-only schedule.

Source difference identified; final patient-specific adjudication required.

Open this note and its source references

Different HD schedules remain source-specific, not interchangeable

The MAXIPIME mirror uses daily maintenance; UCSF describes a post-HD strategy and a separate unstable-schedule alternative.

What to reconcile: Resolve indication, dialysis timing and local specialist protocol before selecting a regimen; do not average or mix schedules.

Source-specific interpretation; independent clinician adjudication pending.

Dosing / renal protocol and limits

Limits that apply to these rows

These are separately selected institutional strategies; do not merge short-infusion, extended-infusion or dialysis instructions.

Non-severe infection - IV short infusion
CrCl, mL/minSource-specific dose / instruction
>602 g every 12 hours
30-602 g every 24 hours
10-291 g every 24 hours
<10500 mg every 24 hours
Severe infection including neutropenic fever, meningitis or Pseudomonas - IV
CrCl, mL/minSource-specific dose / instruction
>602 g every 8 hours
30-602 g every 12 hours

2 g loading dose over 30 minutes; start maintenance 4 hours after loading. Extended-infusion evidence in meningitis is limited.

Read the retained text before reformatting

All doses below are IV. For CrCl >60 / 30-60 / 10-29 / <10 mL/min, respectively:

  • Non-severe infection: 2 g every 12 hours / 2 g daily / 1 g daily / 500 mg daily.
  • Severe infection, including neutropenic fever, meningitis or Pseudomonas: 2 g every 8 hours / 2 g every 12 hours / 2 g daily / 1 g daily.

Intermittent HD: 2 g initially and following dialysis. When the dialysis schedule is unstable, the alternative is 1 g initially, then every evening. CVVHD: 1 g every 8 hours.

A separate specialist-selected extended-infusion regimen uses a 2 g loading dose over 30 minutes, then 2 g over 4 hours every 8 hours when CrCl >60 or every 12 hours at 30-60. Start maintenance 4 hours after loading; use short infusion below 30. Meningitis extended-infusion evidence is limited.
