A member asked:
Is 875 mgs of amox-clav twice a day too much for a teenager who weighs 100 lbs.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pretty average: This falls in the middle of the dosing range/lb suggested for twice a day dosing for respiratory conditions, ear infections etc.1000mg twice a day would be near the top of the recommended dose range.
