HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The dose can vary from 25 mg/kg to 45 mg/kg if being given twice daily. The strength varies with the severity of the infection.
When calculated, the dose given falls in this range.
Because there are changes in the kidneys, to prevent any further kidney changes his doctor would not use a dose at the low end of the dosing spectrum.
The dose given is appropriate.
I hope this helps
