When diagnosed with bilharzia, what is the dosis of biltricide (praziquantel) to be taken?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
By weight: The dosage recommended for the treatment of schistosomiasis is: 20 mg/kg bodyweight three times a day as a one day treatment, at intervals of not less than 4 hours and not more than 6 hours. I am sure your doctor will recommend the best dosage for you to minimize side effects.
