6) A male patient has been given a loading dose of digoxin of 1000 micrograms in divided

doses by intravenous infusion. He has a creatinine clearance of 47ml/min
What is the maintenance dose (in micrograms) that this patient should receive?

Use the formula provided to calculate the maintenance dose.

Maintenance Dose = Peak body stores x % daily loss
100
Where:
Peak Body Stores = Loading Dose
% Daily Loss = 14 + Creatinine clearance (Ccr)/5
