Literature says about 400mg.
If you can get more doses or higher doses so you can do that, cool.
But if you can't, here's a way you can still do that. You can skip 4 days. Save the pills from those days. Then take 400mg on the 4th day, follow it with 200mg the 5th day, and finally 100mg the 6th day. The other days of the week skip.
Day 1 = 0mg
Day 2 = 0mg
Day 3 = 0mg
Day 4 = 400mg
Day 5 = 200mg
Day 6 = 100mg
Day 7 = 0mgThe days you skip will not slow down treatment. The bacteria grow slowly. It may actually improve treatment - it's called 'pulsing'. On the days you skip, the bacteria feel safe and they come out of hiding. Then you nuke them with 400mg. The next day your blood level will have dropped to 200mg (the 400mg is still half there, half gone). So when you take 200mg it brings it back up to 400mg in your blood system for another day. Bacteria who escape this time will go back into hiding. They will come back out of hiding on the days you skip. Repeat, repeat, repeat.
So if you can't get more pills, that's how you can work with what you've got.
