Optimizing gentamicin dosing in different pediatric age groups using population pharmacokinetics and Monte Carlo simulation

Abstract Introduction The use of once daily dosing of aminoglycosides in pediatrics is increasing but studies on dose optimization targeting the pediatric population are limited. This study aimed to derive a population pharmacokinetic model of gentamicin and apply it to design optimal dosing regimen...
