#130 – Dosing Consult: Amoxicillin
Notes de l’épisode
Drs. Ted Morton and Christine Lockowitz join Dr. Ryan Moenster to discuss all things amoxicillin, particularly in our pediatric patients. Our guests answer common questions, such as, what formulations should be used for certain infectious conditions and/or organisms and how to dose amoxicillin to maximize PK/PD optimization without inducing potential adverse events. It is a must-listen for all!
