If you have any doubts about the dosage of Zinnat, I encourage you to consult your doctor again. If this is not possible, you can also look at the patient's online account or ask at the pharmacy that fills the prescription. The doctor is obliged to include the dosage also on the prescription. Bystanders who do not have knowledge about the current state of health of the child will not be able to help and establish an appropriate treatment regimen. Knowledge about age and body weight is insufficient information. Too low a dose may be ineffective and instead of curing, it will only cause bacterial resistance to this antibiotic. Too high a dose can be harmful and cause increased side effects. Please note that the dose depends on the severity of the infection, the sensitivity of the microorganism causing the infection, the patient's condition, age and weight. Only a doctor can make decisions on this topic, because he knows the state of health of his patient. If you use an antibiotic, I remind you of the recommendation to use a probiotic to rebuild the gut microbiome. In addition, the probiotic helps to reduce the occurrence of side effects in the form of, for example, diarrhea.
