Clinical Considerations & Limitations
- Extended-interval dosing is generally avoided in pregnancy, significant ascites/burns, or unstable renal function — use traditional multiple-daily dosing with level monitoring in those settings.
- Institutional protocols (e.g. the Hartford nomogram) should guide the exact interval based on a drawn level, not this weight/CrCl estimate alone.

- Extended-interval (once-daily) aminoglycoside dosing convention; see also the Hartford Hospital nomogram for interval selection
