The dose for a child over 40 kg according to the recommendations provided by the manufacturer is 2 x 10 ml. The doctor, however, may recommend otherwise, in this case he recommended 7.5 ml. and has the right to do so, he takes responsibility for the possible failure of therapy. We wrote more about it here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/leczenie-off-label-poza-wskazaniami The doctor, in accordance with current medical knowledge, makes a decision on the dosage of drugs, he can only suggest the manufacturer's data, but they are not binding for him. When it comes to antibiotics such as Cetix, both the right dose and the intervals between them are important for the effectiveness of treatment. Please remember to administer the antibiotic exactly every 12 hours. Of course, you can consult a possible increase in the dose of antibiotic, but you should not do it on your own. Only the doctor knows the current state of his daughter's health and knows if it will be necessary at all. https://www.gdziepolek.pl/blog/antybiotyki-czy-przestana-dzialac
