Hi Lee,

Unfortunately there aren't any dosing instructions for this medication that are based on someone's weight.

Usually, your doctor or pharmacist is the one who provides you with dosing instructions upon writing/receiving your prescription. He/she prescribed you a certain dosage based on their evaluation of you, your medical records, and other individual factors. So if something doesn't seem right about it, then you really need to go discuss this with your doctor before moving forward with treatment.

What type of infection are you taking it for?

Actually it was for my dog,David.. The way I worded the question was misleading. I was upset at the time. He went in for minor surgery, was given this medication. He was dead 5 days later. He was healthy before the surgery. He was a large dog. 114 pounds. Not overweight, just big. I have filed a complaint with the DVM board , here. Something went terribly wrong.
