| < 10, including PD | Generally not recommended; use 50% of usual dose | Generally not recommended; use 7.5-10 mg/kg/day in 2-4 divided doses |
| Hemodialysis | 50% of usual dose, scheduled post-dialysis | 50% of usual dose, scheduled post-dialysis |
| CRRT | 7.5 mg/kg/day in 2-4 divided doses | 15 mg/kg/day in 2-4 divided doses |
Notable Side Effects
- Allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis and a relatively high rate of SJS/TEN
- GI upset, including nausea at higher doses
- Interactions
- Increases warfarin levels
- Anemia, neutropenia and thrombocytopenia
- It is a mild folate antagonist
- Hepatotoxicity
- Hyperkalemia
- Hypoglycemia
- Acute kidney injury, though it also increases tubular creatinine reabsorption
- Renal tubular acidosis
