I did a 20cc push done slowly over 20 minutes or so. Some LLMDs don't like this method and prefer prescribing the saline bag with 1 hour slow drip method.

Some also will do an infusion ball which is smaller than a tennis ball that takes about an hour also. I did an infusion ball for my last 3 month on IV Doxy. I would plug in and infuse while commuting to work.

Saline bag but I opened the line and it took about 30 minutes. There were a lot of patients doing Rocephin pulsing and we all took about a half hour for the IV. The study for persistors is to take the IV Mon, FRI, WED
