my son is on a 7 day course 4 times a day an hour before food or on empty tummy
the morning dose we can do as with bed time and pre evening meal but lunchtime course is going to be a pain as i cant get it to him an hour before food whilst he is at school
rather than faffing about with the school could i change his dosage to either double in morning and then evening meal and bed time dose or double dose in morning and double dose at night ?

Argh, its annoying isnt it.

We had that with Aimee, but luckily she isnt at school so it was ok.

Is it that rank pink stuff? x

its orange stuff

Why don't you pm Mario with the name of it. She might know

Hopefully its better than the so called 'rapsberry' rubbish they gave us for Aimee. Although he is a little older so at least he understands he has to take it, without having to be put in a headlock and pinned to the ground x

Oh hun, im a pharmacy tech, and its really important to spread the doses out and DEFO dont double dose.



Basically antibiotics need to be kept at a steady level in your system to be able to keep up the fighting of the infection.



If you dont keep a steady level, then during that time the bug can attack again......AND the worse thing about it all is that this is one of the reasons why we are getting resistant to antibiotics....the bug 'learns' and re-develops itself to be able to stay around even in the presence of anti'b's



Sorry for the lecture typre response, but yes its pretty important that he gets his midday dose.



We advise for a four times a day dose.....morning, lunch, tea-time, and before bed....so it would just be his lunchtime dose.

If its impossible to do the lunchtime dose, could you possibly do:



Morning

After School

Bed Time

and then do an extra one when you are going to bed/wake him up for it?

I got to take mine on a empty tummy for my legs.

I would prob do it after.school n then bed time hun x

wouldnt after school be the tea time 1? cant you give it the teachers to give him at lunchtime? x

he is in high school so would be different teachers plus it has to be kept in a fridge and i know different schools have different policies on keeping meds some refuse point blank to do it

He would probably have to go to school nurse to give it to him, might be worth asking, I know it's a pain, rich school are a nightmare, never send it home... Hope he feels better soon x

Our school won't administer anything, even Lewis at 10 was only allowed prescribed eczema cream if I was happy for him to do it or if I walked the 1.5mile round trip to do it.
Could you not keep him off school till monday

took filling out 3 forms but school will keep it in fridge in office and he has to go to office at 11.45 to take some
he will have to take his med in in the morning and pick it up after school though , just hope he remembers that
