Posology

1-4 g daily in divided doses; most infections will respond to a dosage of 500 mg every 8 hours.

For skin and soft tissue infections, streptococcal pharyngitis and mild, uncomplicated urinary tract infections, the usual dosage is 250 mg every 6 hours, or 500 mg every 12 hours. More severe infections, or those caused by less susceptible organisms may need larger doses.

If daily doses greater than 4g are required other parenteral cephalosporins, in appropriate doses, should be considered.
