Question

Vancomycin (S = 0.87) has to be infused intravenously into a 70 kg patient suffering from S. aureus infection. Given that Vancomycin has the following volumes: volume distribution at time zero (V 1) = 0.5 L/kg and volume distribution at steady state (Vdss) = 1.3 L/kg. What should be the loading dose to achieve 2 mg/L plasma vancomycin concentration?

Options
