All the sources that I have looked into state that the maximum is 30mg/kg/day. A doctor writes a script for an 8 pound 2 week old baby for Amoxicillin 250mg/5ml- 1/2 teaspoon po BID for 10 days. We verified the dose with the doctor, who said yes, they do use 80mg/kg/day even for someone that young. Would you feel comfortable dispensing that even with the doctor's ok?
