Your child’s medicine at a glance
Give Glosika Syrup to your child orally with or without food, preferably in addition to ORS (oral rehydration solution). If your child vomits within 30 minutes of taking Glosika Syrup, repeat the same dose once your child feels better. Along with taking this medicine, your child needs to drink plenty of fluids and eat a healthy, balanced diet.
This medicine may cause some minor and short-term side effects such as headache, skin rash, and constipation. These episodes are temporary and subside on their own once the child’s body adapts to the medicine. However, in case they persist for long or start bothering your child, you must consult your child's doctor without any delay.
Your child’s doctor must be aware if your child has ever had any previous episode of allergy, bowel obstruction, electrolyte imbalance, liver impairment, or kidney malfunction. This will guide the doctor in planning your child’s overall treatment.

Diarrhea is a condition where stools become loose and watery, often leading to dehydration and weakness. Glosika Syrup helps control the excessive fluid secretion in the intestines, which reduces the frequency and watery nature of stools. This provides relief from discomfort and supports faster recovery.
