4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
The daily dose recommended in children, adolescents and adults with
normal renal function, is 3-6 mg/kg body weight per day
as 1 (preferred) up to 2 single doses.
_Paediatric population (newborns and infants)_
The daily dose in newborns is 4.0- 7.0 mg/kg body weight per day. Due
to the longer half-life, newborns are given the required
daily dose in 1 single dose.
The daily dose in infants after the first month of life is 4.5-7.5
mg/kg body weight per day as 1 (preferred) up to 2 single doses.
In children and in neonates, it can be expected that serum levels will
be lower than those found in adults at equivalent dosage
per kg body weight.
_Elderly population_
Adjust dosage according to weight and renal function. Older people may
require lower maintenance doses than younger
adults because of impaired renal function.
_Serious infections_
In life-threatening infections the frequency of dosage may need to be
increased to 6-hourly and the quantity of each dose may
also be increased at the discretion of the clinician up to a total
dosage of 6 mg/kg in 24 hours. In
