Is 875-125mg Augmentin Safe For A 13 Yr Old

BEFORE STARTING ONE OF MY KIDS WHO IS 13 YRS OLD ON AMOXICLAV K 875-125MG AUGMENTIN TWICE DAILY, MY CONCERN IS BECAUSE IT IS THE SAME DOSAGE THE DOCTOR GIVES MY 19 YR OLD AND WITH MY 13 YR OLD IT HAS USUALLY BEEN 500MG AUGMENTIN ONCE DAILY!! NOW THE DOCTOR WANTS MY 13 YR OLD ON THE SAME DOSAGE AS MY 19 YR OLD USUALLY TAKES WHEN SICK!! DOES DOSAGE CHANGE WITH AGE AND IS THIS A SAFE DOSE FOR MY 13 YR OLD TO BE TAKING??!!

Augmentin is an antibiotic used to treat various types of infections and the dosage for this class of medications isn't figured by age or body mass, it is actually figured by the type and severity of the infection being treated.

As long as it is used as directed by the doctor, he should be fine, but a higher dose may cause him to experience more side effects, such as: nausea, drowsiness, skin rash and diarrhea.

Gladys, the vomiting could be from the illness itself, or from the antibiotic, in this case it is hard to say which one is causing it.

Have you contacted the doctor, yet?

If the vomiting is severe, so the child isn't holding down much food or liquids, then they may need to use a different antibiotic.
