Typical dosage for Neomycin

  • Hepatic coma: The typical dosing is 4-12 grams (8-24 tablets) by mouth, divided into smaller doses and taken throughout the day, for 5-6 days. If your hepatic coma keeps returning (long-term), your provider might continue you with 4 grams (8 tablets) by mouth daily, divided into multiple doses and taken throughout the day.
  • Bowel surgery: The dosing of Neomycin depends on when your bowel surgery is. For example, the typical dosing for an 8 AM surgery is 1 gram (2 tablets) by mouth 3 times a day (at 1 PM, 2 PM, and 11 PM) on the day before surgery.
