We got a script for augmentin for a kiddo for otitis media. Normal dosing is 90 mg/kg/day divided into two daily doses, which I see all the time. This script we got was for a dose of roughly 40 mg/kg/day.

I ended up calling the doctor about it and she said she's never heard of augmentin being dosed higher than 45 mg/kg/day and she's never done anything over that. I pulled up some sources since she didn't believe me and she told me she'd have to call me back.

Ten minutes later she called and told me that if I go to drugs.com and look up augmentin under the pediatric section, it says 45 mg/kg/day. I was kinda shocked that an MD referenced drugs.com to me and it took me a second to really know what to say to that, but I told her I have other sources in front of me, including a pediatric medical journal, that references 90 mg/kg/day. She told me she would send a new script "against her better judgement". What?

This doctor yeah I sure do. I think she was a clown for being so hesitant to dose at 90 mg/kg/day.

That's one thing, but I what baffled me so much is the augmentin dose for otitis media is a very common thing I would think. I've always seen and done high dose for it.

Yeah I hate mixing it. I wish it was nice and smooth to whip up like its plain amoxicillin counterpart (unless it's Sandoz brand. Sandoz brand is trash).

hes not some random checking a doctor on an incorrect dosage

also if you are in the medical profession as an MD, DO, or especially an RPh/PharmD, the fastest way to get laughed at is referencing drugs.com

It's definitely site/infection/weight dependent, especially in kids. And as someone earlier in this topic showed us, the doc actually read drugs.com wrong anyway lol.

Prolonged use of augmentin (40ish days) caused liver damage in my father. Luckily he recovered but it was bad.

Its known to be hard on the liver but we didn't know that at the time.

When I took my dad to a doctor from the practice I go to, she said my dad had the lowest vitamin b12 levels she had ever seen. Tracking b12 levels is important for people with diabetes and his previous doctor never checked. Sometimes, doctors just suck at their job.
