Doses are given in terms of cefotaxime.
Adults and children over 12 years of age with a body weight of 50 kg or more: for infections of mild and moderate severity - 1000 mg every 12 hours.

Further dose adjustment may be required depending on the course of the infection and the general condition of the patient. In patients with a creatinine clearance of 15-30 ml/min, the maximum daily dose of sulbactam is 2000 mg, and in patients with a creatinine clearance of less than 15 ml/min, the maximum daily dose of sulbactam is 1000 mg. In severe infections, additional administration of cefotaxime may be required.
