Hello. The doctor prescribed the antibiotic ospamox 500 mg/5 ml for scarlet fever. The child is 8 years old and weighs 30 kg. Dosage: 10 ml 2 times a day. Does that turn out to be 20ml a day?

Yes, a dosage of 2x 10 ml means taking 20 ml of the drug per day.
The recommended dose of Ospamox 500mg/5ml for a child weighing 30kg is between 600mg (6ml) and 2700mg (27ml) per day given in divided doses.
Here you can book Ospamox at the pharmacy of your choice:
