once daily amoxicillin may be just as beneficial as b.i.d. or t.i.d. penicillin. The interesting thing about this study was that failure rate to relatively high this population of true strep pharyngitis. 6 to 12% in both penicillin as well as once daily amoxicillin group. the other interesting thing is the dose is relatively high 1.5 g if over 30 kg and 750 mg if less than 30 kg.
