New study aims to perfect antibiotic dosing for tiny infants

This study looked at how two common oral antibiotics, amoxicillin and cephalexin, work in newborns and young infants. Researchers enrolled 72 babies already receiving these or other antibiotics in the hospital. By taking small blood samples over time, they measured drug levels to determine the best doses for treating infections common in infants. The goal is to ensure the antibiotics are effective while avoiding underdosing or side effects.
