For neonates (under 1 month), the dosage is 15 to 20 mg per kg body weight per day, divided into 3 to 4 doses.

Pregnancy & Lactation
Daclin 150 is categorized as a pregnancy B drug, meaning Daclin 150 may be used during pregnancy if needed. Daclin 150 can pass into breast milk, so Daclin 150 is not recommended for breastfeeding mothers unless necessary.
