Correction issued for BNF 46 relating to indinavir dosing

The British National Formulary has issued a correction to the 46th edition relating to the dosing of indinavir.

The printed version of BNF 46 shows incorrect units for the dose of indinavir for children and adolescents (p305). The dose should read as follows: “Dose: 800 mg every 8 hours; child and adolescent 4–17 years, 500 mg/m² every 8 hours (max 800 mg every 8 hours); child under 4 years, safety and efficacy not established.”

Digital versions of BNF 46 show the dose correctly.
