A 60-yeаr-оld mаle is hоspitаlized and diagnоstic evaluation with sputum culture and urinary antigen testing reveals that he has Legionella pneumonia. You decide to treat the patient with Levofloxacin. The recommended dose of Levofloxacin for normal renal function is 750 mg IV q 24 hours. For a patient with renal insufficiency, the following dosage adjustments are indicated: Estimated Creatinine Clearance (ml/min) Recommended Dosage > 50-90 ml/min 750 mg IV q 24 hours 20-49 ml/min 750 mg IV q 48 hours < 20 ml/min 750 mg IV once, then 500 mg IV q 48 hours The patient weighs 72 kg and has a serum creatinine of 2.0 mg/dL. Calculate his estimated creatinine clearance using the formula: [(140 – age) x weight (kg)] ÷ [serum creatinine (mg/dL) x 72]. Using the estimated creatinine clearance, determine which of the following dosages of Levofloxacin is indicated for this patient.
