Are lansoprazole, tinidazole and clarithromycin given to pediatric patients? If yes, what are the dosages? Thanking You.
Answer
Tinidazole is used in children in the dose of 50 mg/kg as a single dose in giardiasis and 50mg/kg/day OD for 3 days for acute amoebic dysentery. Clarithromycin is used in children in the dose of 15mg/kg/day bd. Though lansoprazole has been used in children in some studies it is used in children as per the pediatrician's discretion.
