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 non-label dialysis regimens are separate GlobalRPh reference material, not manufacturer instructions. No renal-adjusted meningitis regimen is inferred.

Dosing / renal protocol and limits

IV short-infusion regimens for renal bands >50 / 26-50 / 10-25 / <10 mL/min:

  • Standard: 1 g every 8 hours / 1 g every 12 hours / 500 mg every 12 hours / 500 mg daily.
  • Meningitis or cystic fibrosis: 2 g every 8 hours / 2 g every 12 hours / 1 g every 12 hours / 1 g daily.

IHD: standard 500 mg initially, then every evening; meningitis/cystic fibrosis 1 g initially, then every evening.

CVVHD: standard 1 g every 8 hours; meningitis/cystic fibrosis 2 g every 12 hours. Discuss flow exceeding 2 L/hour with ID pharmacy.

Selected extended infusion uses a 1 g loading dose over 30 minutes, with maintenance beginning 4 hours later. At renal function >50 / 26-50, standard maintenance is 1 g over 3 hours every 8 / 12 hours; meningitis/cystic fibrosis maintenance is 2 g at those intervals. Below 26, use short infusion. Meningitis extended-infusion evidence is limited.
