What are the Dosage Guidelines for Antibiotics in Gynecological Infections?
The dosage of antibiotics for gynecological infections depends on the type of infection and the specific antibiotic being used. For example, for bacterial vaginosis, metronidazole is commonly prescribed at 500 mg twice daily for 7 days. For pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), a combination therapy might be used, such as ceftriaxone 250 mg intramuscularly as a single dose, followed by doxycycline 100 mg orally twice daily for 14 days, with or without metronidazole.
