Thanks for asking Healthcaremagic. I think you should go by the doctor as he has examined your child and has prescribed the dosage according to severity of the of his disease. Pharmaceutical companies do mention minimum dosages . Hope it helps.If you have any other queries/question please feel free to ask. Thanks and wish your daughter a healthy life.
