CLINICAL PARTICULARS
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
Consideration should be given to official guidance on the appropriate

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
