Checking the dosage online

My 78 year old father is a type 2 diabetic person. He knew it when he was still 35 years of age. He was admitted to the hospital 6 years ago because he has a little cut under his right foot that can't easily be healed due to high blood sugar. That tiny cut resulted to gangrene after a couple of months. The doctor decided to amputate his right leg because it can no longer be save due to high degree of abscess and it turns black already. After the amputation was done the doctor prescribed him high dose of antibiotics and pain relievers. The orthopedist uses the Augmentin as anti-bacterial. He uses the integrated drug reference guide online to be 100 percent sure of the dosage. He visits the Epocrates online site because he knew that this site is a good source of medical online information.
