Axid dosing

[Anonymous]

Is .5 ml 2x daily of axid sufficient for a 8.5 lb baby?? I’ve searched the site and it says most drs/literature reccomends 5-10 ml/kg

5 ml/kg

8.5 lbs=about 4 kg

5×4=20 ml a day

10 ml 2x day

Umm, is that why things seem to be worse on day three of axid than better?? Am I missing a huge piece of the puzzle here?? A decimal point gone awry??

I am guessing that it actually is 5-10mg/kg which would mean 20mg/day so you need to took at your bottle to see how many mg/ml your axid is.

Example is that Zantac is usually 15mg/ml. But maybe someone who knows better will chime in. HTH.
