These dosing recommendations are meant as guidance based on available literature and should not replace clinical judgement. Antimicrobial dosing should take into account factors specific to the patient (weight, renal function), antimicrobial (pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, toxicity) and disease-state.

Aztreonam
| Indication |
CrCl > 50 mL/min |
10 - 50 mL/min | < 10 mL/min |
|---|---|---|---|
| All indications |
2 g IV q8h* |
2 g IV q12h | 1 g IV q12h |
*2 g IV q6h may be considered for meningitis in select patients based on clinical judgement (e.g. obesity, young age, augmented renal clearance, etc), or in select resistant gram-negative infections in combination with ceftazidime-avibactam (infuse both over 3 hours).
If used in combination with ceftazidime-avibactam and dosing intervals are the same, simultaneous administration is preferred.
Aztreonam lacks cross-reactivity with most other beta-lactams; however, most patients who have a recorded beta-lactam allergy can receive another beta-lactam through screening, test dosing, or skin testing. See Inpatient Allergy Guidelines
