Dosage of linezolid antibiotics

2022-03-13 18:17:06
My daughter has some fungal infection in gums and based on previous experience since she was suffering, we had decided to give her linezolid dosage for 5 days. Syrup of 100 mg. Now a bit confused with the correct dosage. I know that it should be 10mg /kg.. But will it not be higher? 370 mg twice a day seems higher side of the dose.. Can you suggest based on the weight (37 kgs). Pls.
