Medication
For creatinine clearance <30ml/min:
2
g
Intravenous (IV)
every 8 hrs
increased at 12hr intervals
Dose reduction may be required in case of hepatic impairment
CrCl 41-59 mL/min: 250 mg/m² Intravenous on day 1
CrCl 16-40 mL/min: 200 mg/m² Intravenous on day 1
CrCl <15 mL/min: usually not recommended
Mild-to-moderate (CrCl 30-89 mL/min): No dose adjustment is needed
Severe (CrCl 15-29 mL/min), end-stage renal disease with or without hemodialysis) Unknown
CrCl below 10 mL/min: reduce dosage by 50%
CrCl 10 to 50 mL/min: reduce dosage by 25-50%
Haemodialysis: give 50% of dose following dialysis
Hepatic impairment: use caution
5 mg orally every Day may be gradually increased every two weeks, The maximum dosage is 20 mg
dextroamphetamine transdermalÂ
If the patient's (GFR) ranges from 15 to <30 mL/min/1.73 m², the dose of the medication should not exceed 13.5 mg/9 hour
If the patient has end-stage renal disease and their GFR is <15 mL/min/1.73 m²,maximum dosage of the medication is 9 mg every 9 hours
It is important to note that dextroamphetamine cannot be removed by dialysis
Infants 7 days to 1yr:
50
mg/kg
Intravenous (IV)
3 times a day
For neonates <7 days: 50mg/kg twice a day
For creatinine clearance <30ml/min (children up to 14yr): 2g IV every 8 hours increased at 12hr intervals
Dose reduction may be required in case of hepatic impairment
dextroamphetamine transdermalÂ
Having (GFR 15 to less than 30 mL/min/1.73 m2) should not receive a dose of more than 13.5 mg/9 hours
Patients with end-stage renal disease (GFR less than 15 mL/min/1.73 m2) should not receive a dose of more than 9 mg/9 hours
It is important to note that dextroamphetamine cannot be removed by dialysis
