Flucoril Syrup

Give Flucoril Syrup to your child orally in the dose, time, and way prescribed by your child’s doctor. You can give this medicine with or without food, but giving it with food will help prevent the chances of stomach upset. The dose of Flucoril Syrup will depend on your child’s clinical condition, body weight, and age. Prefer giving this medicine at a fixed time to prevent the chance of missed dose. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of the intake, give the same dose again. Your child may start to feel better within a few days of regular dosing. However, you must finish the prescribed course as stopping it abruptly may worsen your child’s condition.

Your child may exhibit minor and transient side effects like vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, dizziness, rash, and headache after the intake of Flucoril Syrup. Usually, these episodes subside once your child’s body adapts to the medicine. However, in case of prolonged or bothersome events, better consult your child’s doctor without any delay.

Narrate your child’s complete medical history to the doctor. Do let the doctor know if your child is on a medicine regime or has had any history of allergies, heart problems, blood disorders, birth defects, airway obstruction, lung anomaly, skin disorders, liver impairment, and kidney malfunction. This information is critical for dose alterations and for planning your child’s overall treatment.
