Piperacillin Sodium and Tazobactam Dosing for dogs and cats By Weight
Important Information
Alternatively, a constant rate infusion (CRI) can be administered by injecting a loading dose of 4 mg/kg (bolus), followed by 3.2 mg/kg/hour.
No doses have been reported for large animals, but doses similar to those cited for ticarcillin-clavulanate would likely reach the same targets in horses.
