What is the dosage for aspelone for a 2and a half year old?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Drug questions...: Should be asked to a doctor who knows something about the child and his or her situation. Aspelone in S. Africa contains prednisolone, a corticosteroid (called a steroid, for short) so has to be carefully dosed to avoid side effects. For example, in asthma attacks, one's dose might be 1 mg per kg per day for 5 days. There are ~180 million 2 year-olds running around the planet, so doses vary.
