Bactrim Ds 800 160 For My 6 Year Old

Updated

I have interpharm 800-160 antibiotic. Was wondering what that dosage would be for my 6 year old? My 14 year old took I tablet twice daily so was wondering if I could just cut the tablet in half?

Hello, Denise! How are you?

Has your child's doctor prescribed this for them?

Antibiotics shouldn't be used, unless a doctor confirms the presence of a bacterial infection, because improper use creates the risk of developing antibiotic resistance.

Additionally, when an antibiotic is prescribed you need to be sure that you or your child finishes the entire course of treatment to ensure that the bacteria is completely eradicated.

Side effects to this medication may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.
