Meropenem Dose adjustment in Renal failure or
Meropenem Dose adjustment in kidney impairment - Pharmacology

In this video, we will discuss the dose adjustment of Meropenem based on serum creatinine levels using the Cockcroft-Gault Formula. Meropenem is a commonly used antibiotic, and it is crucial to ensure the appropriate dose is administered to avoid adverse effects and ensure optimal efficacy.

We will take an example of a male patient and refer to the Lexicomp and Micromedex recommendations for the appropriate Meropenem dose based on his creatinine clearance. Both referencing resources recommend the same dosage adjustment for Meropenem.

If you want to learn how to estimate creatinine clearance using the Cockcroft-Gault formula, and determine the appropriate dosage for medications eliminated by the kidneys, such as Meropenem, then this video is for you!
