3-6 mg/kg/day IV in 2-3 divided doses every 8-12 hours; adjust based on serum levels and renal function.
1-2 mg/kg IV every 8 hours for 7-10 days, targeting peak serum concentration of 6-10 mcg/mL and trough <2 mcg/mL.

Terminal elimination half-life is 2-3 hours in patients with normal renal function. Prolonged to 24-48 hours in anuria. Clinical context: Dosing interval adjustment required in renal impairment to avoid toxicity.
Terminal elimination half-life is 2-3 hours in patients with normal renal function; may prolong to 20-40 hours in end-stage renal disease
Renal excretion of unchanged drug accounts for >90% of elimination. Approximately 10% is excreted in bile.
Primarily renal (glomerular filtration) with 40-70% excreted unchanged in urine within 24 hours; minor biliary/fecal (<5%)
