Effect of age on the pharmacokinetics of a single daily dose of gentamicin sulfate in healthy foals

Abstract

Intravenous administration of gentamicin at a dose of 12 mg/kg bwt q. 36 h would be required in foals less than 2 weeks of age. In foals 2 weeks of age or older, a lower dose of 6.6 mg/kg bwt given q. 24 h was predicted to be adequate.
