Concentrations and AUC0–24h at steady state were obtained from simulations on 1,000 virtual patients and are given as median (2.5 to 97.5 percentiles).

b

Abbreviations: AUC0–24h, area under the concentration-time curve up over 24 h; ClCr, creatinine clearance; Cmax, maximal concentration at the end of infusion; Cmin, concentration at steady state or plateau concentration in case of continuous infusion; q12h and q24h, administration every 12 h and 24 h, respectively; PTA, probability of target attainment.

c

Highest median Cmax and AUC0–24h for recommended dosages.

d

Highest median Cmin for recommended dosages.
