A member asked:
The doctor i spoke to yesterday might have made a mistake on the prescription he gave me it's for clindamycin it's 2 treat cellulitis in my right thumb . the prescription says take 3 pills every 8 hours (300mg each pill) shouldn't it be 1 pill 3xday?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The dose is wrong: The correct dose of clindamycin for cellulitis is 450 mg three times per day for 7-10 days. You should take 1.5 pills three times per day for your cellulitis.
