Give Avof OZ Plus Syrup to your child orally either before or after food, preferably in addition to ORS (oral rehydration solution). The dose of the medicine will depend upon your child’s symptoms, body weight, and age, so adhere to the dose, time, and way prescribed by the doctor. Usually, Avof OZ Plus Syrup is prescribed two times a day, in the morning and at bedtime. Repeat the dose if your child vomits within 30 minutes of the intake of Avof OZ Plus Syrup. However, do not double the dose if it is already time for the next dose.
Some children may develop minor and short-term side effects after the intake of this medicine. These include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, headache, skin rash, and itching. These episodes are temporary and subside on their own. However, in case they persist for long or start bothering your child, you must consult your child’s doctor without any delay.
Do inform your child’s doctor if your child has ever had any previous episode of allergy, bowel obstruction, electrolyte imbalance, heart problem, liver impairment, and kidney malfunction. This will guide the doctor in planning your child’s overall treatment.
