<s>[INST] My 10 year old daughter, 90 pounds has a bad case of strep and was given 400mg/5ml amoxicillin. The prescription was written for her to take 1ml/2x a day. The doctor refuses to change the script, but pharmacist says this is too little a dosage - she should be on at least 875mg/day. I m confused? Who is right? [/INST] Thank you for asking query.As per weight of the child daily dose of 800-1200 mg would suffice.It could be a typing mistake or doctor doesnt know dosage.Hope this is helpful to you.Rate the answer if you like it.Regards,Dr rushikesh kute </s>
