Daptomycin for Children in Clinical Practice Experience

Silvia Garazzino et al. Pediatr Infect Dis J. 2016 Jun.

Abstract

Data on daptomycin use in the pediatric setting are scanty. We conducted a multicenter, retrospective study on 46 children treated with intravenous daptomycin at a mean dosage of 7.0 mg/kg/d, for a median of 14 days. Three children had adverse events possibly related to daptomycin. The drug was overall well tolerated, even with prolonged treatment.
