Dosages administration of Cefepime and Sulbactam Injection 1500mg

Easy Guide to Dosage for Cefepime With Sulbactam Injection 1500mg

  • This injection contains 1.5 grams of medicine in each vial.
  • Doctors usually give it 2 or 3 times a day, depending on how bad the infection is.
  • The highest daily amount is 9 grams, split into smaller doses throughout the day.

For People With Kidney Problems

  • If your kidneys aren’t working well, your body may not remove the medicine properly.
  • So, doctors will give you a smaller dose to keep things safe.
  • To check your kidney health, doctors use blood tests (called serum creatinine) or a number called creatinine clearance.
  • There’s even a simple formula doctors use to figure it out based on your age, weight, and sex.

When only serum creatinine is available, the following formula (based on sex, weight and age of the patient) may be used to convert this value in to creatinine clearance.

Males: Weight in (kg) x (140 – age) / 72 x Serum creatinine

Females: (0.85) x (above value)
