I have an abscessed tooth and my dentist prescribed clindamycin 150 mg. twice
daily. He originally wrote the prescription for 150 mg. four times daily but
while I was at the pharmacy, one of the dental employees came up to me and said
the prescription needed to be changed so I went back to the dentist office and
they gave me a new prescription for the antibiotic to be taken twice daily.
When I got home I looked it up on the internet and everything I can find seems
to indicate that it should be taken every six or eight hours at 150-300 mg. I
am 80 years old and weigh 140 lbs.
Shall I question my dentist about the dosage. I have a swollen jaw and want to
do the right thing.

The correct interval is 4 times a day or every 6 hours.
