Medical - Medical (general) / dose recommendations | | German term or phrase: ab der zweiten Lebenswoche | | Opinion wanted: does this mean from the second week of life in the sense that the child is over 1 week old, or does it simply mean "over 2 weeks old", in that this is counting from the end of the second week of life? |
| | Clarification request(s) and responseDr. Fred Thomson: 5:48pm Oct 10, 2007: You really need to give us at least the full sentence in which this appears and preferably some additional information as well.
EACK: 6:00pm Oct 10, 2007: Context and additional info - This is from the dose recommendations in a summary of product characteristics:
Kinder, Kleinkinder und Saeuglinge ab der zweiten Lebenswoche erhalten im Allgemeinen eine Tagesdosis von 150 mg pro kg Koerpergewicht, aufgeteilt in Einzeldosen alle 6 bis 8 Stunden.
However, I have just found the answer in the subsequent text:
Neugeborene erhalten in der ersten Lebenswoche 75 mg pro Kg Koerpergewicht pro Tag.
That means the other infants are over 1 week old.
