45 mg/kg/day divided BID x 10 days

For a typical 3-year-old weighing 14 kg: 315 mg BID

Would you like me to calculate the exact dose based on the patient's weight?

Patient weighs 13.5 kg

Calculated dose for 13.5 kg patient:

607.5 mg/day → 304 mg BID

Practical dosing: 300 mg BID (6.4 mL of 250mg/5mL suspension)
