- Good lung penetration, but is inactivated by lung surfactant and should not be used to treat pneumonia
- Bactericidal
- Concentration-dependent, best predicted by AUC24:MIC
Dosing
- Standard dose: 6 mg/kg IV q24h
- High dose for severe infections, including MRSA bacteremia: 8 to 10 mg/kg IV q24h
- Consider using adjusted body weight in obesity
Renal Dosing
| GFR (mL/min) | Routine Dose | High Dose |
|---|---|---|
| >50 | 6 mg/kg IV q24h | 8-10 mg/kg IV q24h |
| 11-50 | 6-8 mg/kg IV q24h | |
| ≤10 | 8 mg/kg IV q48h | |
