Additional doses require an increase to 15 mg/kg IV every 12 hours. Maintenance Doses (No hemodialysis): 12 hours after the initial dose, administer 10 mg/kg IV over 30 minutes every 12 hours for 4 doses if needed.Initial Dose: 15 mg/kg IV over 30 minutes.Use in pediatrics is based on case reports, but no significant adverse events have been reported.
