FAQs
Can I increase or decrease the dose of my child’s medicine by myself?
No, it is not recommended to alter the dose of the medicine without consulting a doctor. While increasing the dose without proper judgment may lead to toxicity, decreasing it may cause recurrence of symptoms. So, for best results, speak to your child’s doctor if you feel a change in dose may be needed.
How much Zelid Suspension should I give to my child?
Your doctor will prescribe the dose according to your child’s condition and body weight. Stick to the prescribed dosing schedule as that is the best way to ensure the safe and complete recovery of your child.
Is it safe to give Zelid Suspension to my child for more than two weeks?
Prolong intake of Zelid Suspension can lead to increased secretion of acid in the stomach. These increased acid levels can result in ulcer formations which eventually can lead to gastrointestinal bleeding. Therefore, it is advised to use Zelid Suspension in its lowest effective dose for the shortest duration of time. Consult your doctor if not sure.
How should Zelid Suspension be stored?
Zelid Suspension should be stored at room temperature, in a dry place, away from direct heat and light. Also, keep all medicines out of the reach and sight of children to avoid any accidental intake.
Can all children be given the same dose of Zelid Suspension?
No. Zelid Suspension cannot be given to everyone in the same dose. The doctor decides the appropriate dose of Zelid Suspension based on the child’s age and body weight.
When will my child feel better?
You may be required to give Zelid Suspension to your child for a few days to weeks, depending upon the severity of the infection. If your child continues to feel unwell even after completion of the full prescribed course of the medicine, consult your child’s doctor as soon as possible.
Are there any serious side effects of this medicine for my child?
Although Zelid Suspension is well-tolerated by children, if you notice your child experiencing any intolerable episodes like persistent vomiting, body swelling, hepatotoxicity, decreased urine frequency, or serious allergic reaction, rush to your doctor on an immediate basis.
