General: It should be recognized that in the treatment of chronic urinary tract infections, frequent bacteriological and clinical appraisals are necessary. Smaller doses than those recommended above should not be used. Even higher doses may be needed at times. In stubborn infections, therapy may be required for several weeks. It may be necessary to continue clinical and/ or bacteriological follow-up for several months after cessation of therapy. Except for gonorrhea, treatment should be continued for a minimum of 48 to 72 hours beyond the time that the patient becomes asymptomatic or evidence of bacterial eradication has been obtained. It is recommended that there be at least 10 days' treatment for any infection caused by Streptococcus pyogenes to prevent the occurrence of acute rheumatic fever.

Dual therapy: AMOXIL/ lansoprazole The recommended adult oral dose is 1 gram AMOXIL and 30 mg lansoprazole, each given 3 times daily (q8h) for 14 days. (See INDICATIONS AND USAGE.) Please refer to clarithromycin and lansoprazole full prescribing information for CONTRAINDICATIONS and WARNINGS, and for information regarding dosing in elderly and renally impaired patients. Dosing recommendations for adults with impaired renal function: Patients with impaired renal function do not generally require a reduction in dose unless the impairment is severe. Severely impaired patients with a glomerular filtration rate of <30 mL/ minute should not receive the 875-mg tablet. Patients with a glomerular filtration rate of 10 to 30 mL/ minute should receive 500 mg or 250 mg every 12 hours, depending on the severity of the infection. Patients with a less than 10 mL/ minute glomerular filtration rate should receive 500 mg or 250 mg every 24 hours, depending on severity of the infection. Page: << Prev | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | Next >>
