Augmentin dosage


Recommended Posts

Hi all.

 

Just asking this again, in a different way.

 

DS9 (76 lbs) is on 1000 mg Augmentin (500 mg twice a day). Does anyone know, does this mean it has to be every 12 hours or can dose #2 be closer in time to dose #1. I think it "wears off" after about 8 hours and would like to know if anyone has been told how often to give it.

 

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure you want to be as close to every 12 hours as possible.

 

I'm guessing that with Augmentin XR, you might have a little more flexibility on this, since it is an extended release version.
