My 10 year old daughter, 90 pounds has a bad case of strep and was given 400mg/5ml amoxicillin. The prescription was written for her to take 1ml/2x a day. The doctor refuses to change the script, but pharmacist says this is too little a dosage - she should be on at least 875mg/day. I m confused? Who is right?
Thank you for asking query. As per weight of the child daily dose of 800-1200 mg would suffice. It could be a typing mistake or doctor doesn't know dosage. Hope this is helpful to you. Rate the answer if you like it. Chat Doctor.
