Population Pharmacokinetics and Dosage Optimization of Teicoplanin in Children With Different Renal Functions.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The purposes of our study were to investigate the population pharmacokinetics of teicoplanin in Chinese children with different renal functions and to propose the appropriate dosing regimen for these pediatric patients.

Methods

We performed a prospective pharmacokinetic research on children aged 0-10 years, with different renal functions. The population pharmacokinetics model of teicoplanin was developed using NLME program. The individualized optimal dosage regimen was proposed on the basis of the obtained population pharmacokinetics parameters.

Results

To achieve the target trough level of 10-30 mg/L, optimal dosing regimen for children with different renal functions are predicted as follows based on the population PK simulations: children with moderate ren
