Guest guest Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Hi , My 10 year old daughter is currently taking Amoxi 250 mg (2 tabs twice a day) and Biaxin 1/2 tsp twice a day. Our LLMD would like to have her replace the Biaxin with probenecid but I wanted to wait until I did some research on that med in children.
