Product / population
Preserved GlobalRPh source, not a freshly verified product label
Renal measure
Use the method specified in the original source

Historical source: not automatically current. Review current official labeling and separately attributed additions before use.

Single-agent piperacillin, not piperacillin/tazobactam. Different renal summaries in the original page remain separately labeled.

Usual dosing and administration

General source dose: 3 g every 4-6 hours or 4 g every 6 hours; usual adult maximum 24 g/day, although higher doses have been used. Serious infections: IV 3-4 g every 4-6 hours over 20-30 minutes. The source also permits a 3-5-minute IV injection. IM administration is limited to 2 g per site and was used mainly for uncomplicated gonorrhea/UTI.

Do not mix with an aminoglycoside in the same syringe or infusion bottle because of inactivation. When used together, each drug should be given at its full therapeutic dose.

Source indication table:

  • Serious septicemia, hospital pneumonia, intra-abdominal, aerobic/anaerobic gynecologic or skin/soft-tissue infection: 12-18 g/day IV (200-300 mg/kg/day), divided every 4-6 hours.
  • Complicated UTI: 8-16 g/day IV (125-200 mg/kg/day), divided every 6-8 hours.
  • Uncomplicated UTI or most community-acquired pneumonia: 6-8 g/day IM/IV (100-125 mg/kg/day), divided every 6-12 hours.
  • Historical uncomplicated gonorrhea: 2 g IM once, preceded by probenecid 1 g orally 30 minutes earlier.

Usual source duration 7-10 days, or 3-10 days for gynecologic infection, according to clinical/bacteriological progress. The historical discussion continues most acute-infection treatment for 48-72 hours after symptoms resolve and S. pyogenes treatment for at least 10 days to reduce rheumatic-fever risk.

GlobalRPh renal summary and alternative

CrCl above 40 mL/min: no change. 20-40: 3-4 g every 8 hours. Below 20: 4 g every 12 hours.

A separate alternative in the source uses CrCl 10-50: usual dose every 6-8 hours; below 10: every 8 hours. These alternatives are not merged into the manufacturer table.

Indication-specific renal table

CrCl above 40: no adjustment.

CrCl 20-40: uncomplicated UTI, no adjustment; complicated UTI, 3 g every 8 hours (9 g/day); serious systemic infection, 4 g every 8 hours (12 g/day).

CrCl below 20: uncomplicated/complicated UTI, 3 g every 12 hours (6 g/day); serious systemic infection, 4 g every 12 hours (8 g/day).

Measure concentrations for additional guidance when renal failure and hepatic insufficiency coexist.

Hemodialysis and continuous therapy

Hemodialysis: maximum 2 g IV every 8 hours (6 g/day), plus 1 g after each dialysis. Four hours of dialysis removes approximately 30-50%.

Continuous arteriovenous/venovenous hemofiltration: source advises the CrCl 10-50 regimen.

Source-section locators identify where retained content came from. A source-section identifier does not assert that every numeric statement has been independently corroborated. The local text hash is not a hash of original HTML, an FDA PDF or SPL XML.

The original individual GlobalRPh pages commonly cite NIH/NLM DailyMed and instruct readers to review the applicable package insert for updates. That historical reference is preserved as context; it is not counted as an independently retrieved current label.
