A member asked:
I was wondering if i was given the right dosage for amoxicillin for a 6 year old weighing 22kg. 250mg/5ml susp. 17.5 ml twice a day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Right dose: which is 80-90 mg/kg/day for most indications, so with the concentration given would come up to the preschool volume and frequency. Make sure you finish all the prescribed duration, best wishes
