Suggest Dosage Of Amoxicillin

Posted on Mon, 23 Nov 2015

Question: How many ml's of amoxicillin 400mg/5ml makes up an adult dose for strep

Answered by Dr. Ivo Ditah (14 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
12.5mls

Detailed Answer:
HI and thanks so much for this query.

You will need 1000mg twice daily for six days and this corresponds to 12.5ml of amoxicillin 400mg/5ml. This is more expensive than amoxicillin capsules and I will strongly suggest that you consider going with capsules rather.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for any clarifications if need be.
