O estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a eficácia e a nefrotoxicidade da gentamicina em cães a partir de um modelo de farmacocinética populacional (popPK). O modelo foi desenvolvido por meio do software Monolix 2024 R1 (Lixoft SAS, Simulations Plus Company), a partir de dados de concentração plasmática extraídos da literatura. Além disso, foram realizadas simulações para doses de 2, 4, 6 e 8 mg kg-1 de gentamicina, no software Simulx 2024 (Lixoft SAS, Simulations Plus Company), avaliando-se o sucesso terapêutico e o risco de toxicidade. O modelo que melhor se ajustou aos dados observados tinha dois compartimentos e eliminação linear. A eficácia terapêutica foi avaliada de acordo com a Probabilidade de Atingir o alvo (PTA) de diferentes concentrações inibitórias mínimas para gentamicina. Para se estimar o risco de toxicidade, foi considerado o tempo acima do limiar tóxico do antibiótico. Assim, com a dose de 8 mg kg-1, foi alcançado um PTA ≥ 90% para bactérias com MIC ≤ 2.0 μg mL-1, e o tempo médio acima da concentração tóxica de gentamicina (0.5 - 2 μg mL-1) variou de 4 a 8 horas. Os resultados sugerem o uso da gentamicina para agentes com MICs ≤ 2 μg mL-1 e intervalo de dose prolongado; no entanto, o profissional deve ajustar a dose e intervalo em pacientes críticos. A abordagem popPK contribui para o aprimoramento da medicina de precisão, garantindo, assim, melhores níveis de eficácia e segurança para diferentes regimes de doses.
