Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely. The dosage depends on your specific condition and your body’s response to the medication. Typical dosages are outlined below, but individual needs vary.
Adults
For most infections, the standard adult dose is 100 mg twice daily on the first day, followed by 100 mg once daily. This schedule typically continues for 7-14 days, but treatment duration is dependent upon the infection being treated. Some infections may require higher dosages or a longer treatment period. Your physician will determine the most suitable course.
Children (over 8 years old)
The recommended dosage for children over eight years old is generally calculated based on their weight. Consult your doctor for the precise dosage based on your child’s weight and medical history. Always provide medication as directed by a physician.
Specific Considerations
Certain conditions might necessitate dosage adjustments. For instance, those with impaired kidney function may require a lower dosage to prevent medication buildup. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should discuss dosage with their doctor before starting treatment. This medication interacts with numerous other drugs. Inform your physician about all medications and supplements you are taking to avoid potential interactions.
