A member asked:
How is the dosage of voltaren suppositories calculated for a 9 year old child? is a dosage of 100mg for a 9yr old who weights 35kg too high?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bit high: it is calculated at 2-3 mg/ kg / day, divided twice a day to 4 times a day, and not to exceed 150 mg / day, so if you give him a 100 mg now, you won't be able to give a similar dose later during the day, you may want to cut it in half if you can, or get another form, as syrup to calculate the dose easier, wish you both wellness
