Instructions for use
Blister presentation for 3-days treatment.
5 different presentations for 4 categories of weight:
- infants 5-14kg: blister of 6 disp. tab
- children 15-2 kg: blister of 12 disp. tab.
- adolescents 25-34 kg: blister of 18 tab.
- adults > 35 kg: blister of 24 tab. (20/120 mg) or blister of 6 tab (80/480mg).
Presentations must be ordered for all 4 weight categories.
In adults, the 80/480 mg formulation allows for better compliance as the number of tablets to be taken is less than with the 20/120 mg formulation (1 tab 2x/day instead of 4 tabs 2x/day).
The quantity to be ordered is calculated per blister (= one treatment), not per tablet.
