Suggest Dosage Of Azithromycin 250mg For Pneumonia
My 15 yr old daughter was prescribed Azithromycin 250 mg tablets for 5 days because of pneumonia. The first dose was to be two tablets. After two days she is not feeling much better and we realized she only had one tablet for the first dose. Should we give her a double dose now?
