antibiotic dosing question


Recommended Posts

Do you find that you have better success in combating the PANS/Pandas by spreading the antibiotic throughout the day or giving it all at once?

 

It depends on the antibiotic and it's half-life. Which one do you have?

 

Also, if you have a antibiotic that you have to take frequently (say 3x daily) it makes it harder to squeeze in a priobiotic (which you normally are supposed to take 2 hours before or after an antibiotic).

We use Azithro 1 time daily, but in a flare if we have to increase (which helps) I will give the extra 2ml in a second dose right before the 4pm crash starts. Yes the second dose helps tremendously taming back the pandas beast.

 

I give probiotics first thing in the morning with breakfast and an hour before bed.

The 4 pm crash is an accurate name. Our dd takes 2 tspn of Cefdinir in the am and 1 in the evening. Adding that evening dose helped. Strep is still not under control as we cannot miss or give medicine late. Wondering if I should switch to azith. Having a hard time getting the Teva or Sandoz manufactured azith here.
