Typical dosage for Aztreonam

The dose and length of treatment depends on what type of infection you have, how serious it is, and whether you have kidney problems. Your provider will determine the right dose and length of treatment for you.

Aztreonam is typically given as an injection into the veins (intravenous or IV) or into the buttock or thigh muscle (intramuscular or IM) by a provider in a healthcare setting (e.g., hospital, office, nursing home).

    • Moderate-to-severe infections: The typical dose is 1 gram or 2 grams IV or IM every 8 or 12 hours.
    • Severe or life-threatening infections: The typical dose is 2 grams IV or IM every 6 or 8 hours.
  • Children

    • Your child's provider will determine their dose based on your child's body weight. The typical dose is 30 mg/kg given IV every 6 or 8 hours.
