A member asked:
What to do if i have an abcess and am supposed to take two 150 mg capsules for the first day plus one later on but is it too much to take for my weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Take as directed.: Check with your prescribing doctor, but know that your doctor has evaluated the threat to your health from the infection verses the dose for your weight, and has determined the correct amount of medication that you need to treat your problem.
