2 additional source qualifications - review before use

Fortaz - product and source limitations

Excess exposure may cause encephalopathy, myoclonus or seizures. Verify the relevant dialysis schedule separately.

Before applying: Verify the current prescribing information for this presentation.

Tazicef - product and source limitations

High concentrations during reduced urine output can cause neurologic toxicity. Verify the indication and dialysis modality.

Before applying: Apply only to the stated formulation, indication and renal population.

Usual Dosing (Adults)

Usual: 1 to 2 grams IV every 8 to 12 hours. Severe: 2 grams IV every 8 hours.

Source dosing table:

Indication	Dose	Interval
Usual adult	1 g IV/IM	Every 8 to 12 hours
Uncomplicated urinary tract	250 mg IV/IM	Every 12 hours
Bone and joint	2 g IV	Every 12 hours
Complicated urinary tract	500 mg IV/IM	Every 8 to 12 hours
Uncomplicated pneumonia or mild skin/skin structure	500 mg to 1 g IV/IM	Every 8 hours
Serious gynecologic or intra-abdominal	2 g IV	Every 8 hours
Meningitis	2 g IV	Every 8 hours
Very severe life-threatening infections, especially immunocompromised	2 g IV	Every 8 hours
Cystic fibrosis lung infection due to Pseudomonas with normal renal function	30 to 50 mg/kg IV; maximum 6 g/day	Every 8 hours
Neonates 0 to 4 weeks	30 mg/kg IV	Every 12 hours
Infants and children 1 month to 12 years	30 to 50 mg/kg IV; maximum 6 g/day	Every 8 hours

The higher pediatric dose is for immunocompromised patients, cystic fibrosis, or meningitis. In cystic fibrosis patients clinical improvement has occurred, but bacteriologic cures cannot be expected in chronic respiratory disease and cystic fibrosis.

Renal Dosing

CrCl (mL/min)	Dose
>50	No change
31 to 50	1 g every 12 hours
16 to 30	1 g every 24 hours
6 to 15	500 mg every 24 hours
<5 or dialysis	500 mg every 48 hours

All renal doses may be increased by 50% in severe infections, as stated in the source.

Hemodialysis

1 g loading dose, then 1 g after each hemodialysis session. Alternative: 1 g every 48 hours plus 1 g after each hemodialysis.

CAPD: 1 g once, then 500 mg every 24 hours.
