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.
