Is the Lincocin dosage correct for children?
Good morning, Today daughters in connection with angina got injections of lincocin 300mg / ml. We have been treating ourselves for a month with antibiotics and do not bring results, which is why injections are already on. The daughter one 6 years 26 kg got a dose 1 time / day 500 mg , the second daughter 2 years 13 kg got a dose once a day 250 mg . I wanted to ask if these are well-chosen doses? Because something does not give me peace. Thank you very much for the information

For the treatment of infections in children over 1 month of age, it is recommended to administer 10 mg lincomycin/kg body weight intramuscularly once daily or twice daily for severe infections. Therefore, a child weighing 26 kg is recommended to give 260 mg of the drug 1-2 times a day, while a child weighing 13 kg 130 mg 1-2 times a day. However, your doctor may order a dosage method other than the one given in the leaflet - this is called "off-label treatment": https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/leczenie-off-label-poza-wskazaniami
