High dose augmentin

[Debbie1]

There has been a lot of discussion recently about high dose augmentin. What is considered high dose?

 

My dd (approx. 95 lbs) is on 600mg twice a day. Is this considered high dose for her weight? We are not considering making any changes right now, but was just wondering.

 

Thanks,

Debbie

The dose that really helped Sammy from the Saving Sammy book was 1000 mg 2X per day. That is what we started doing for my son. He will be 12 years old next month and is 118 pounds.

 

We started this higher does on 10/15/09. We saw so many gains, he did have a backslide over the last few days because of dental work, but I am hoping that we will continue to see him shed OCD behaviors which he was doing.

 

Talk to your doctor about raising it if you don't see positive results at the 1200 mg. I saw some improvement at 1200 mg, but saw significant improvement at the high dose.

 

Take a look at the posts from worried dad too, they have tried so many things to help his son and he is seeing the most positive results form this higher dose of augmentin.

 

Thanks,
