Guest guest Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 I am really confused about the diflucan dosing! I have seen varying input re: how much diflucan to give. My son is 100#. The diflucan website says up to 400 mg/day for an adult. Dr. McCandless says up to 80mg/day for a 50# child. Stan, you suggested 500 mg 3X/day for a 100 # child, which is far more than either of the first two suggestions. Can anyone confirm which of these to go with? Also, re: valtrex: why are people crushing the pill and putting it in juice/ Is this recommended as better than just swallowing the pill? Thanks.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Because some of our children are to small to swallow pills.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 , If your child can swallow pills that's great. People on this sight crush and mix because their children can't do that. Just make sure you Wash off the blue dye! In case anyone else is intersted I sent the prescription to my compounding pharamacy and they compounded it into a liquid with stevia and clear grape flavor. As for Diflucan, Stan said 50mg per day (but divided 2x at 25mg) for a child under 50lbs but states clearly that he is not a Doctor and you should refer to Dr. McCandless or your DAN for dosing. I hope this helps. - >From: sethman04222 <dwyer.whynot@...> >Date: Sun Apr 23 13:20:28 CDT 2006 >mb12 valtrex >Subject: diflucan/valtrex >I am really confused about the diflucan dosing!

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Stan's recommendation of 500 three times a day is for Valtrex, not Diflucan. Those of us who crush the pill have children who cannot swallow. If yours can, then swallowing it should be fine. I would still wash off the horrible blue coloring though!
