Serum concentration of co-trimoxazole during a high-dosage regimen.
OBJECTIVES Sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim have been used for decades, yet high dosages are rarely reported. We aimed to measure blood concentrations of both molecules in this situation. METHODS Between 2002 and 2010, 22 patients received two tablets of co-trimoxazole three times a day, equivalent to a daily dosage of 2400 mg of sulfamethoxazole and 480 mg of trimethoprim. The trimethoprim ...

متن کاملElevated Vancomycin Trough Concentration: Increased Efficacy and/or Toxicity?
Vancomycin susceptibility of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus has been changed over time and its average minimum inhibitory concentration increased from 1.5 to 1.75 mg/L. A recently published guideline by the American Society of Health Pharmacist recommended a daily dose of 15-20 mg/kg every 8 to 12 hours of vancomycin to achieve a trough concentration between 15-20 mg/L for treatmen...
