Assessment of an Alternative Meropenem Dosing Strategy Compared with Imipenem-Cilastatin or Traditional Meropenem Dosing After Cefepime Failure or Intolerance in Adults with Neutropenic Fever
Pharmacotherapy, 08/03/09
Arnold HM et al. – The alternative meropenem dosage of 500 mg every 6 hours yielded similar patient outcomes, including time to defervescence, need for additional antibiotics, duration of therapy, and mortality, when compared with the traditional meropenem dosage and imipenem–cilastatin in adults with febrile neutropenia. In addition, no adverse effects on clinical outcomes were observed with the alternative dosage of meropenem.
