Good morning, I got a prescription for Ospen 1000. Dose 1 tablet twice a day for 10 days. Isn't that not enough after the leaflet info about 3 doses a day?

According to the recommendations for the management of community-acquired respiratory tract infections prepared by the National Antibiotic Protection Program, phenoxymethylpenicillin should be used in adults weighing more than 40 kg at a dose of 2-3 million IU / day administered in 2 divided doses every 12 hours for 10 days. One Ospen 1000 tablet contains 1 million IU of phenoxymethylpenicillin, i.e. you will take 2 million IU per day, which corresponds to the recommendations. I encourage you to read the articles: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/fakty-i-mity-o-antybiotykach https://www.gdziepolek.pl/blog/antybiotyki-czy-przestana-dzialac During antibiotic therapy, it is worth using appropriate probiotics. When taking an antibiotic, it is recommended to use single-strain probiotics containing the yeast Saccharomyces boulardii (e.g. Enterol) or Lactobacillus GG bacteria (e.g. Dicoflor), which have the best documented effect in preventing antibiotic diarrhea. After completing the treatment, it is worth including a multi-strain probiotic, e.g. Multilac, which will help enrich the intestinal bacterial flora (for at least 2-3 weeks). Below I attach links to pages where you can compare the prices of these probiotics in online pharmacies and place an order with home delivery or collection at the pharmacy: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/27293/enterol-250-kapsulki/apteki https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/107701/dicoflor-6-kapsulki/apteki https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/50697/multilac-synbiotyk-kapsulki/apteki
