Re: Diflucan dosage question

[Guest guest]

We do an every other day regimin with Diflucan. My son is 32 lbs and

takes that liquid 40mg/ml as well. Our dose has always been 2.5 ccs

(or 1/2 tsp), whether every other day as maintenance or every day for

14 days...your dose sounds high.

I'm just a mom, though.
