Dosage Adjustments for Renal Impairment

Amoxicillin dosage requires adjustment for patients with impaired kidney function. The recommended dose depends on creatinine clearance (CrCl).

Creatinine Clearance (CrCl) mL/min Amoxicillin Dosage (mg/day) Frequency
≥30 875 mg Once daily
15-29 500 mg Once daily
250 mg Once daily or every other day

For patients undergoing hemodialysis, administer 500 mg amoxicillin after each dialysis session.

Always consult a physician or pharmacist for precise dosage adjustments based on individual patient needs and lab results. These recommendations are guidelines and may vary depending on specific circumstances and severity of renal impairment. Monitoring for side effects is advised.
