Clindamycin IV: Children ages 2 to 11 years old with BMI 85th to 95th percentile. Their schedule of IV Clindamycin administration included 30-40 mg/kg/day dosed every 6 or every 8 hours with a maximum daily dose of 2.7 grams/day. Dosing greater than 2.7g/day was allowed for children receiving clindamycin as part of clinical care.
