DRUG NAME
INDICATION
Infections due to Gram-positive bacteria including endocarditis, osteomyelitis, septicaemia and soft-tissue infections.
The dosing below is based on recommendations in a report to the Neonatal and Paediatric Pharmacist Group January 2016, on empirical dosing of intermittent intravenous vancomycin in children aged over 1 month, for optimum trough levels. This report showed that in certain age groups, the BNFc dosing did not produce adequate trough levels, AUC24 values, or MICs.
