A case for Vancomycin : 2
Continuing from the Vancomycin case in the previous step, Prof. Lee explains how to calculate dosing interval and maintenance dose this time.
When we get the dosing interval, remember to round up the tau to the actual interval in clinical practice. For instance, we have 10.2 in this case after the calculation, and we usually round it up to 12 then.
Besides, if we wish to achieve the pharmacological effect at the dosing interval of tau, we should be able to calculate the maintenance dose to maintain the concentration between the therapeutic window.
