Dosage Depo-Medrol - Teardrop


Posted: Jun 07, 2010

For a spinal epidural injection, I think this doc is saying 80 mg Depo-Medrol with 9 mL Lidocaine.  The MT is putting 18 mg Depo-Medrol consistently.  I think that's incorrect.  

80 mg is correct - no message - Anonymous

Hi all, it is late and I am getting tired.  I have a doctor stating the following, "He is placed on clindamycin 10 mg/kg per 5 mL every 12 hours. This is a 75 mg/5 mL solution."  The patient is a child.  I googled and can find bits and pieces of what I input, but nothing all together.  I guess what I am questioning is, do you think he meant to say the first 5 mL, or do you think he was stumbling over it?  Also, does the dosage seem correct to you?    ...
