What is the correct dosage of Amoksiklav for 12 kg of a child?

The dosage of Amoksiklav depends on the patient's body weight, as well as the disease entity found. According to the leaflet, the preparation is usually dosed between (25 mg + 3.6 mg) to (45 mg + 6.4 mg) for each kilogram of body weight per day, administered in 2 divided doses. This means that for a child weighing 12 kg, the dose of the drug should be between (300 mg + 43.2 mg) and (540 mg + 76.8 mg) which gives the finished amount of suspension between 3.75 ml and 6.75 ml per day. At one time, between 1.87 - 3.37 ml is administered. However, a higher dose of up to (70 mg + 10 mg) for every kilogram of body weight per day is allowed, administered in 2 divided doses. This means that for a child weighing 12 kg, the dose of the drug should be up to a maximum of (840 mg + 120 mg), which gives a ready-made amount of suspension up to 10.5 ml per day. A maximum of 5.25 ml of the drug is then administered at a time: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/4789/amoksiklav-400-mg-57-mg-proszek-do-wytworzenia-zawiesiny/apteki From the above calculations, it follows that the dosage of the drug is as correct as possible.
