LLMD prescribed 500mg of Zith 1x / day.

Is this a "normal" dose or a "lite" dose?

Thanks,

Bcb

I only take it once a day too, so I guess it's normal.

Currently on mepron, zyth, amox, nystatin, arteminisin, cats claw, natto, andrographis, resveritrol, NAC, oil of oregano.

yeah you might be better off with the low dose or taking it once a day anyway, i was at a high dose for about 2 months and developed bad inner ear issues. (edit) they resolved when i quit taking it though

I'm on 500mg IV once a day. So sounds like normal to me.
