A member asked:
Is 150mg 3x/day for 10 days of clindamycin appropriate/enough for strep throat? i've had strep about a week without proper treatment!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Depends upon weight. 7mg/kg/dose q 8hr with a 300mg/dose max . This is most likely not enough in an adult
