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 300 is categorized as a pregnancy B drug, meaning Daclin 300 may be used during pregnancy if needed. Daclin 300 can pass into breast milk, so Daclin 300 is not recommended for breastfeeding mothers unless necessary.
