Your child’s medicine at a glance

Endospas Oral Suspension is commonly given to treat abdominal pain in children. It relieves the pain by relaxing the muscles of the stomach. It also blocks the action of certain chemical messengers that can cause pain and fever.

Give Endospas Oral Suspension to your child at a fixed time either before or after food. If your child develops a stomach upset, it is best to give this medicine with food. It is usually given four times a day. However, this may vary based on your child’s clinical condition, body weight, and age. It is most likely that the doctor will start with a low dose of Endospas Oral Suspension and gradually increase the dose. Stick to the dose, time, and way as prescribed. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of taking this medicine, give the same dose again, but skip it if it is already time for the next dose.

Endospas Oral Suspension can cause some minor and temporary side effects like nausea, dry mouth, blurred vision, weakness, and nervousness. Usually, these episodes subside once your child’s body adapts to the medicine. However, in case these effects persist or start bothering your child, consult your child’s doctor without any delay.

Let your child’s doctor know if your child is already taking any medicines. Also, narrate your child’s complete medical history, including any prior episodes of allergy, heart problem, blood disorder, vascular disorders, birth defects, airway obstruction, lung anomaly, skin disorder, liver impairment, and kidney malfunction. This information is critical for dose alterations and in planning your child’s overall treatment.

Benefits of Endospas Oral Suspension for your child

In Treatment of Abdominal pain

How can I give Endospas Oral Suspension to my child?

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Measure it with a measuring cup and take it by mouth. Shake well before use. Endospas Oral Suspension may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.

How Endospas Oral Suspension works

Endospas Oral Suspension is a combination of two medicines: dicyclomine and paracetamol, which relieves abdominal pain and cramps. Dicyclomine is an anticholinergic that relaxes the muscles in the stomach and gut (intestine). It stops sudden muscle contractions (spasms), thereby relieving cramps, pain, bloating, and discomfort. Paracetamol is an analgesic (pain reliever) that works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain.
