My son is on Bicitra for renal tubular acidosis. The dosage prescribed by his doctor is 15 cc 3 times a day (total 45cc a day) My question is: Is it imperitive to give it 3 times a day or can I give divide the 45cc into 2 equal doses and give it once in the morning and once at night, which is easier for all concerned. One doctor has told us that the dosage - once, twice or 3 times a day - doesn't matter as long as he gets the total (45cc). But another doctor is very emphatic that it has to be given 3 times a day (15cc x 3 times a day). Could you please explain how Bicitra works and should be administered? Thank you.
