Infant, child 1 month-2 yr: 35-60 mcg/kg PO over 24 h in = 2 divided doses q 6-8 h. Maintenance dose 25-35% of total digitalizing dose.
Child 2-5 yr: 30-40 mcg/kg PO over 24 h in = 2 divided doses q 6-8 h. Maintenance dose 25-35% of total digitalizing dose.
Child 5-10 yr: 20-35 mcg/kg PO over 24 h in = 2 divided doses q 6-8 h. Maintenance dose 25-35% of total digitalizing dose.
Child = 10 yr: 10-15 mcg/kg PO over 24 h in = 2 divided doses q 6-8 h. Maintenance dose 25-35% of total digitalizing dose.
Adult: For rapid digitalization, 0.75-1.25 mg PO over 24 h in = 2 divided doses q 6-8 h. For slow digitalization, 0.125-0.5 mg PO qd 5-7 day. Maintenance dose 0.125-0.5 mg qd.
(Caps) Child 2-5 yr: For rapid digitalization, 25-35 mcg/kg PO over 24 h divided as above. Maintenance dose 25-35% of total digitalizing dose in 2-3 equal doses qd.
Child 5-10 yr: For rapid digitalization, 15-30 mcg/kg PO over 24 h divided as above. Maintenance dose 25-35% of total digitalizing dose in 2-3 equal doses qd. Child >= 10 yr For rapid digitalization, 8-12 mcg/kg PO over 24 h divided as above. Maintenance dose 25-35% of total digitalizing dose qd as single dose.
Adult: For rapid digitalization, 0.4-0.6 mg PO, then 0.1-0.3 mg q 6-8 h prn as tol × 24 h. For slow digitalization, 0.05-0.35 mg qd in 2 divided doses × 7-22 day prn until therapeutic serum levels reached. Maintenance dose 0.05-0.35 mg qd in 1-2 divided doses.
(Inj) Neonate (premature): For rapid digitalization, 15-25 mcg/kg IV over 24 h divided as above. Maintenance dose 20-30% of total digitalizing dose, in 2-3 equal doses qd. Neonate (full-term): For rapid digitalization, 20-30 mcg/kg IV over 24 hs divided as above. Maintenance dose 25-35% of total digitalizing dose, in 2-3 equal doses qd.
Infant, child 1 month-2 yr: For rapid digitalization, 30-50 mcg/kg IV over 24 h divided as above. Maintenance dose 25-35% of total digitalizing dose, in 2-3 equal doses qd.
Child 2-5 yr: For rapid digitalization, 25-35 mcg/kg IV over 24 h divided as above. Maintenance dose 25-35% of total digitalizing dose in 2-3 equal doses qd.
Child 5-10 yr: For rapid digitalization, 15-30 mcg/kg IV over 24 h divided as above. Maintenance dose 25-35% of total digitalizing dose in 2-3 equal doses qd. Child = 10 yr: For rapid digitalization, 8-12 mcg/kg IV over 24 h divided as above. Maintenance dose 25-35% of tatal digitalizing dose given qd as single dose.
Adult: For rapid digitalization, 0.4-0.6 mg IV, then 0.1-0.3 mg IV q 4-8 h prn as tol × 24 h. For slow digitalization, give appropriate qd maintenance dose × 7-22 day prn until therapeutic serum levels reached. Maintenance dose 0.125-0.5 mg IV qd in 1-2 divided doses. Pts with hyperthyroidism may need increased dose. |
