A 60-yeаr-оld mаle pаtient is prescribed IV gentamicin оnce daily fоr a severe infection. To optimise dosing, an adjusted body weight (AdjBW) should be used.

The following equations are provided: Ideal body weight (IBW) Men: IBW (kg) = 50 + 2.3kg for each inch over 5 feet Women: IBW (kg) = 45.5 + 2.3kg for each inch over 5 feet Adjusted body weight (AdjBW)AdjBW (kg) = IBW + 0.3 × (actual body weight − IBW) Gentamicin should be dosed at 5mg/kg once daily, using AdjBW.
