Mark is doing IV tobra at 4pm every day. How often should he be gonig in for blood draw for peak/trough? They don't want to see him until the 24th......I would figure it would be every day or every other day????

Thanks

Once the level is established in his system weekly tests are usually the protocol.


I dont remember if this is one of the meds they started him on IN the hospital, but I would guess so & the levels would be established for him to go on with.

I only had mine done at the beginning of the course (4 weeks). Once established the rate of drug clearance shouldn't change that much. Doing it weekly is probably playing it safe for someone who has renal impairment to some degree, or someone who is doing dosing every 8 hours (tobramycin has a half life of about 2 hours with IV administration).

I never heard of NOT having weekly testing. Anything could influence the toxicity that will cause renal issues....dehyration etc. Has anyone else NOT had weekly testing (granted I am referring more to home iv's then in hospital)?
