Hello, Peggy! How are you?

That is a high dose, but it really depends on how severe your infection is, your doctor can adjust as needed if it is a very severe infection.

The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin and diarrhea.

Has there been any improvement, yet?
