4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Doribax is indicated for the treatment of the following infections in
adults (see sections 4.4 and 5.1):
●
Nosocomial pneumonia (including ventilator–associated pneumonia)
●
Complicated intra-abdominal infections
●
Complicated urinary tract infections

4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
The recommended dose and administration by infection is shown in the
following table:
Infection
Dose
Frequency
Infusion time
Nosocomial pneumonia including
ventilator–associated pneumonia
500 mg or 1 g*
every 8 hours
1 or 4 hours**
Complicated intra-abdominal infection
500 mg
every 8 hours
1 hour
Complicated UTI, including pyelonephritis
500 mg
every 8 hours
1 hour
*
1 g every 8 hours as a 4-hour infusion may be considered in patients
with augmented renal clearance (particularly
those with creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥ 150 ml/min) and/or in
infections due to non-fermenting gram-negative
pathogens (such as _Pseudomonas_ spp. and _Acinetobacter_ spp.). This
dose regimen is based on PK/PD data (see
sections 4.4, 4.8 and 5.1).
** Based mainly on PK/PD considerations, a 4-hour infusion time may be
more suitable for infection with less
susceptible pathogens (see section 5.1). This dosing regimen should
also be considered in particularly severe
infections.
_Duration of treatment_
The usual treatment duration of doripenem therapy ranges from 5-14
days and should be guided by the
severity, site of the infection, infecting pathogen and the
patient’s cli
