Antibiotic Dosing Schedule

[Luis Mata Mendez]

Hi all,

What your thoughts about this?

I have noticed that the antibiotics prescribed four times a day are not being charted every 6 hours. The last dose is given at 8 p.m. and the first dose at 8 a.m., leaving the resident without a dose for 12 hours. During this time, the drug concentration drops, reducing the effectiveness of the antibiotics and potentially leading to antimicrobial resistance.

Regards,

Luis

Thanks Luis,

I think this statement would need to be evidence based referenced.

Thanks kindly
