Dosage
The Prins nomogram uses simplified once daily dosing with the dose adjusted for renal function.[1] Depending on the estimated creatinine clearance (CC) (Online calculator), the daily intravenous dose is:
- CC more than 80 ml/min - 4 mg/kg
- CC between 50 and 80 ml/min - 3.25 mg/kg
- CC between 30 and 50 ml/min - 2.5 mg/kg
- CC below 30 ml/min - 2 mg/kg
The older Hull and Sarubbi nomogram uses a loading dose followed by smaller maintenance doses depending on renal function.[2]
