Posology: Dosage in Adults with Creatinine Clearance (CrCL >50 mL/min): Table 11 shows the recommended intravenous dose for adults with estimated creatinine clearance (CrCL) >50 mL/min (see Precautions and Pharmacology: Pharmacodynamics under Actions). (See Table 11.)

Dosage in paediatric patients with creatinine clearance (CrCL) >50 mL/min/1.73 m2: Table 2 shows the recommended intravenous doses for paediatric patients with estimated creatinine clearance (CrCL) >50 mL/min/1.73 m2 (see Precautions and Pharmacology: Pharmacodynamics under Actions). (See Table 12.)

Special populations: Elderly: No dosage adjustment is required in elderly patients (see Pharmacology: Pharmacokinetics under Actions).
Renal impairment: No dosage adjustment is required in patients with mild renal impairment (estimated CrCL >50 - ≤80 mL/min) (see Pharmacology: Pharmacokinetics under Actions).
Table 13 shows the recommended dose adjustments for adults with estimated CrCL ≤50 mL/min (see Precautions and Pharmacology: Pharmacokinetics under Actions).
Dosage in adults with creatinine clearance (CrCL) ≤50 mL/min: (See Table 13.)

Table 14 and Table 15 shows the recommended dose adjustments for paediatric patients with estimated CrCL ≤50 mL/min/1.73 m2 according to different age groups (see Precautions and Pharmacology: Pharmacokinetics under Actions).

There is insufficient information to recommend a dosage regimen for paediatric patients <2 years of age that have a CrCL <16 mL/min/1.73 m2.
Hepatic impairment: No dosage adjustment is required in patients with hepatic impairment (see Pharmacology: Pharmacokinetics under Actions).
Paediatric patients: The safety and efficacy in paediatric patients <3 months old have not been established. No data are available.
Method of administration: Intravenous use.
Zavicefta is administered by intravenous infusion over 120 minutes in an appropriate infusion volume (see Instructions for use, handling and disposal under Cautions for Usage).
