A member asked:
Why do doctors prescribe antibiotics twice or three times a day ? does it mean i got a serious case of strep throat if i'm prescribed 3 times a day
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dosing: Medicines are dosed as to their pharmacokinetics, i.e. How they work to kill organisms. There are those that need only one peak effect and repeatedly. There are those that need constant presence and are dosed more each day especially if the medicine does not hang around long enough. There are once a day meds and there are 4 times a day meds.
