Dosage Times (Top voted first)

Updated

When prescribed most common drugs you either are given one tablet 3 times a day or one tablet 4 times a day to take . I was told that tablets are taken on a 12 hour cycle if so that would mean one tablet 3 times a day would be one every 4 hours (3 x 4 =12) so one 4 times a day would be one every 3 hours (4 x 3 = 12) IS THIS CORRECT. Thank you

I was in the DR in September. Started itching end of October. Still itching. It was over a month before the doctor finally diagnosed me as having scabies.

I have taken 3 doses of stromectol in the past two weeks, all as prescribed by a dermatologist. The first dose was 6 of 3mg pills...so 18mg. 200mg is an insane amount.

The third dose was 8 of these pills, so 24mg. That night and much of the next day I had swollen lymph glands, a known side effect of stromectol.

I'm still itching, but now that I read how long the itching can last after it's gone, I'm a little more confident that the mites are dead and I will be ok soon. It's just frustrating not really being able to tell if the itching is because it's not gone, or is the common itching after it's gone.

Anyway, hope that dosing info helps...

p.s. - I'm not a doctor, of course. just telling you what I was prescribed.

I'm going to do some epsom salt and diluted vinegar baths over the next couple days just to make sure. Steam ironing the pillows and mattress, too - that's a great idea I hadn't thought of. I did wash (with bleach) my sheets, mattress pad, and pillowcases..and turned over the mattress.
