Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My daughter is 7 and 42lbs. SHe started Augmentin for a second case of strep throat in 3 weeks. My husband accidently gave her 1 TBL of it instead of the 1 tsp she was prescribed. IT was this morning, she is supposed to take it twice a day. Should I give her an evening dose, or skip tonights and continue tomorrow?
Hello Augmentin dry syrup contains amoxicillin200 mg clavulanic acid 28.5 mg /5 ml. While tablet contains amoxicillin250mg+clavulanic acid 125 mg. Dosage ;Based on amoxicillin dose: less than 40 kg ( 78 lbs)20-40 mg /kg/day in divided dosage 8 hourly . While you mentioned that your daughter got 1 TBL instead 1tsf , so need not to worry . Give her next dose in the evening without any side effect. Good luck.
