How Many Times A 14 Years Old Girl Can Take Penicillin In A Day ?
my daughter who is 14 years old has to take 1 penicillin vk talbet (250mg) four times a day but on the leaflet it says to leave approx 6 hours in between doses
Hello sharon;
welcome to HealthcareMagic
The course of tablets when it is 4 times a day it means 4 times in 24 hours so if you have to space the tablets you can give her as 6am-12 noon-6 pm-12 midnight.This will make sure she takes 4 doses in a day and each dose will be 6 hours apart.If you want you can divide it according to your as well as your daughters convenience but the doses should be 6 hours apart.
Thanks
