When prescribing Zithromax to children, the body mass of a child is taken into account.
For children with weight over 10 kg, the daily dose of Zithromax for the first day treatment – is 10mg per 1 kg of the body mass.
The next four days, Zithromax daily dose has to be decreased to 5mg per 1 kg of a child’s body mass.
Zithromax three-days treatment course can also be prescribed to children, but in this case the single daily dose of Zithromax should be 10mg per 1 kg of the body mass.
The common daily dose of Zithromax for pediatric patients must never exceed 30mg per 1 kg of a child’s body weight.
