Cefpodoxime

The recommended dosages, durations of treatment, and applicable patient populations are as described in the following chart: [See table below.] [See table below.] Acute maxillary sinusitis 10 mg/kg/day (Max 400 mg/day) 5 mg/kg Q 12 hours (Max 200 mg/dose) 10 days Patients with Renal Dysfunction: For patients with severe renal impairment (<30 mL/min creatinine clearance), the dosing intervals should be increased to Q 24 hours.

In patients maintained on hemodialysis, the dose frequency should be 3 times/week after hemodialysis. When only the serum creatinine level is available, the following formula (based on sex, weight, and age of the patient) may be used to estimate creatinine clearance (mL/min). For this estimate to be valid, the serum creatinine level should represent a steady state of renal function.
