Question
How much acetomycin should a 5-year-old child take?
Answer
Acetomycin is a macrolide antibiotic with similar antibacterial effects to erythromycin, showing strong antibacterial effects against Gram-positive bacteria and mycoplasma, and also against some Gram-negative bacteria. Its mechanism of action is to affect the 50S subunit of bacterial ribosomes, blocking bacterial protein synthesis, making it a growth-inhibitory drug. The dosage needs to be prescribed by a doctor based on the patient’s specific condition, including the illness, weight, and allergic history. Therefore, it is recommended to consult with a doctor for specific dosage and administration instructions.
