Table 5.
Predicted exposure to amoxicillin following administration of 250 and 500 mg doses according to a twice daily regimen.
| Weight band | Cmax (mg/L) | Cmin (mg/L) | AUC (mg·h/L) | T>MIC (h)MIC = 2 mg/L | T>MIC (h)MIC = 4 mg/L | T>MIC (h)MIC = 8 mg/L |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| < 4 kg | 26 (11 – 120) | 14 (6 – 80) | 254 (93 – 1846) | 11.9 (11.5 – 12.0) | 11.8 (10.9 – 12.0) | 11.4 (7.2 – 12.0) |
| ≥ 4 kg | 32 (16 – 75) | 12 (6 – 37) | 274 (124 – 901) | 11.9 (11.7 – 12.0) | 11.9 (11.4 – 12.0) | 11.6 (9.1 – 12.0) |
Cmax, peak concentrations; Cmin, trough concentrations; AUC, area under the concentration vs. time curve; T > MIC, time above the MIC.
Values shown are the mean predictions, 5th and 95th percentiles after the first dose.
