Typical dosage for Fomepizole

The typical dose is 15 mg/kg of body weight injected into the veins (IV), followed by 10 mg/kg IV every 12 hours for 4 doses. Then, the medication is given at a dose of 15 mg/kg IV every 12 hours until the blood levels of ethylene glycol or methanol are low enough to stop and you're no longer having symptoms.

Your dose might differ if you're on dialysis.
