Application features
The drug in the form of tablets is intended for oral use, but in the form of a solution for intravenous use. Most often, the duration of the course, as well as the selection of the dosage does not depend on the form of release of the drug, so we will consider the features of the application, which are suitable for solution and tablets at the same time.
Nevertheless, regarding the choice of dosage, be sure to consult a doctor, since each organism is unique and requires an individual approach.
If the doctor prescribed a medicine for you in the form of tablets, then you need to take them once or twice a day, without chewing and swallowing whole. Use plenty of water with plenty of water. Doctors recommend using one hundred to two hundred milliliters of purified liquid. If for any reason you need to drink half a tablet, then you can very carefully divide it into two parts. For this, the pill has a special strip that will simplify this process.
If the medicine is administered intravenously, then this must be done very slowly, by drip. Every ten milliliters of solution should be introduced into the body for at least sixty minutes. Please note that each open bottle can be used only for three days after opening. At the same time, it must be stored in its original packaging in a well-lit place. It is very important to learn how to correctly calculate the required dosage. One milliliter of liquid contains five milligrams of the active substance. And this suggests that if your body needs 125 mg of the active substance, then you will have to enter 25 ml of liquid.
Doctors recommend administering this solution intravenously at the same time as physiological or with fluids containing micronutrients.
Typically, intravenous administration of the drug is prescribed to those patients who currently have diseases in a progressive stage. If, on the background of treatment, positive changes were noticed, then you can start using this medicine in the form of tablets. However, in this case, the dosage is recommended to remain the same.
You can stop antibiotic treatment only if the body temperature has acquired normal values and does not rise within the next three days.
During treatment, the patient should be indoors and avoid direct sunlight. It is also forbidden to visit the solarium.
The drug "Tavanik", the instructions for which are enclosed in each cardboard package, is still an antibiotic, so you need to use it very carefully. Do not forget that all antibacterial drugs violate the intestinal microflora, so help her recover using natural lactobacilli.
For those patients who have serious liver pathologies, it is recommended to take the drug in a reduced dosage in a hospital setting.
