According to the Summary of Product Characteristics for Azycyna 200mg/5 ml, the recommended dosing regimen for children weighing 10-14 kg involves the administration of 2.5 ml suspension per day, equivalent to 100 mg azithromycin. Children weighing 15-24 kg are given 5 ml of suspension per day, which corresponds to 200 mg of azithromycin. The dosing regimen recommended by the doctor includes the use of the drug in smaller doses than the standard recommended for a child weighing 16 kg. The decision on the dosage method is made by the doctor individually. In case of doubt, I encourage you to contact your doctor again.
