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.

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/min
Source-specific dose / instruction
>60
2 g every 12 hours
30-60
2 g every 24 hours
10-29
1 g every 24 hours
<10
500 mg every 24 hours
Severe infection including neutropenic fever, meningitis or Pseudomonas - IV
CrCl, mL/min
Source-specific dose / instruction
>60
2 g every 8 hours
30-60
2 g every 12 hours
10-29
2 g every 24 hours
<10
1 g every 24 hours
Separate specialist-selected extended infusion
CrCl, mL/min
Source-specific dose / instruction
>60
2 g over 4 hours every 8 hours
30-60
2 g over 4 hours every 12 hours
<30
Use short infusion, not this extended-infusion pathway
2 g loading dose over 30 minutes; start maintenance 4 hours after loading. Extended-infusion evidence in meningitis is limited.
Dialysis guidance - separate source-specific schedules
Cefepime dialysis
Dialysis setting / indication
Source-specific schedule
IHD
2 g initially and following dialysis
IHD with unstable schedule - alternative
1 g initially, then each evening
CVVHD
1 g every 8 hours

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.
