➤ Why does a 12-hour CRI receive only half the daily 50 mg/kg dose?
The prescription 50 mg/kg refers to a 24-hour exposure. If you deliver the medication during a 12-hour CRI, you give half the daily total during that infusion so the patient still receives 50 mg/kg per day. Always verify with the prescriber and consider drug half-life and patient factors before changing timing.
