Your child’s medicine at a glance

It is best if you give Adcef 125mg Tablet DT to your child an hour before or two hours after meals as that ensures better absorption. However, switch to giving it with food if your child develops a stomach upset. Make sure to adhere to the dose, time, and way mentioned by your doctor as it is advised depending upon the type and severity of the infection. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of the intake, give the same dose again but do not double dose if it's the time for the next dose.

Adcef 125mg Tablet DT may have some mild side effects such as vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, and mild skin rash. These side effects usually go away on their own. However, if these side effects persist or start bothering your child, speak to your child’s doctor immediately.

Make sure the doctor knows if your child has ever suffered from any allergies, heart diseases, blood problems, birth defects, airway blockage, lung disorder, digestive troubles, skin problems, liver impairment, and kidney malfunction. Sharing your child’s entire medical history will make it easier for the doctor to decide the most appropriate doses and design your child’s treatment plan.
