What Is The Required Dosage Of Medicine?
Hi Doctor Grief,
What is the required dosage (in mL) for cefixime (20 mg/mL) oral drops to be given to an infant 2 months and 3 weeks old? We can't understand the handwriting of the doctor who gave the prescription.
Thank you very much.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
In children, the exact dose of most medications is affected by the weight of the child.
You would need to contact the doctor or the pharmacy that provided the medication for the exact dose.
I hope this helps
