The dosage prescribed by the doctor is slightly higher than the maximum recommended in the characteristics of the drug. In the case of, m.in, otitis media, sinusitis or lower respiratory tract infection, doses up to (70 mg + 10 mg)/kg/day administered in two divided doses (these are RECOMMENDED doses) can be used. The doctor could choose such a dose individually due to m.in age or severity of the infection. Nevertheless, I recommend that you contact your prescribing physician and confirm the dosage. If you use an antibiotic, I remind you of the recommendation to use a probiotic to rebuild the gut microbiome. In addition, the probiotic helps to reduce the occurrence of side effects in the form of, for example, diarrhea.
