Question 21

Vancomycin Examples

60 year old patient with MRSA + pneumonia
CrCl = 55 mL/min

Wt = 100 kg

Starting dose for 60 yr old pt would be 2,000mg or 2g because we are going to multiple 100kg times 20 to get a dose of 2000mg

100x20=2,000mg (loading dose)
100x15mg/kg (maintenance dose)=1,500mg pt would need every 12 hr dosing

Question 22

Vancomycin Examples

85 year old patient with MRSA +SSTI
CrCl = 23 mL/min
Wt = 40 kg

40kgx20mg/kg=800mg which would be 750 mg

40kgx15mg/kg=600mg which would be 500mg
