I am having a difficult time remembering or finding the correct Mepron dosage...
Is it 1 tablespoon twice a day
OR
1 teaspoon twice a day?
Thanks, Melanie

THANKS Miss Merry! All of my things are still packed away and I couldn't find my old notes anywhere.
This may explain why I am feeling a tad 'off'. I've been doing a tablespoon twice a day!

Hey there Tree-hugger! Yes, I have been trying to gag down peanut butter with it in the mornings.
I'm about a week in this time around and think I will add ART next week.

A tablespoon 2x a day? WOW? That stuff's a bit too expensive to be making dosage errors with!!

I used either egg salad with lots of mayo or tuna salad with lots of mayo Or peanut butter and strawbeery no sugar on whole wheat toast thins Posted by sixgoofykids (Member # 11141) on :
Yes, teaspoon. I was taking 2 tsp twice daily.

Thanks all! I wonder what the half-life is on this and if I should perhaps skip tonight's dose and start at the correct dose in the morning?

There were times I had to skip doses because of herxing. I never really skipped more than one dose at a time and that was usually just once per month. Listen to your body. Coffee enemas were a daily thing for me during babs treatment.

The second time around, I took two teaspoons twice daily. Which antibiotic are you taking with it?
Good luck!
Posted by merrygirl (Member # 12041) on :
5 mls in tsp
15 mls in tablespoon
my goodness
Posted by Melanie Reber (Member # 3707) on :
OK, so if many of you have taken 2 teaspoons, 3 teaspoons is not THAT too large of a dose then, right?
Anyway, I do think I will skip tonight.
Hey Sammi! Actually, I've been on Bicillin, but I'm taking a short break from that too. I know I am suppose to be doing other things as well, so I think I will take Zith with the ART next week.
(at least that is the plan tonight)
I'm just really trying to maintain a place where I can still function enough to work, so I'm adding things in very gradually as needed.

Hi Melanie! I believe Mepron needs to be taken with certain antibiotics to work properly, so it is good you will be taking Zithromax with it.
I understand about adding things in gradually so you can continue to function.
