1. The dose of a drug for patients with normal renal function is stated as 500 mg every 12 hours. The dose is to be reduced in frequency to every 24 hours for patients with a creatinine clearance of 6-30 mL/min and to every 48 hours if the creatinine clearance is ≤5. What should be the dosing frequency for a 65-year-old male patient weighing 165 pounds measuring 68 in. in height, with a serum creatinine of 1.5 mg/dL?
