Metrodil M Syrup

Give Metrodil M Syrup to your child orally, with food, preferably at a fixed time. Giving it with food helps prevent the risk of developing a stomach upset. The usually prescribed frequency is three times a day, once each in the morning, afternoon, and at bedtime, keeping a gap of a minimum of 6 hours between two doses. Always give the dose as prescribed by the doctor since that depends on the severity and type of infection, body weight, and age of your child. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of intake, repeat the same dose but never double up the dose if it is time for the next dose.

Some children may develop minor and temporary side effects after taking this medicine. These include nausea, vomiting, flatulence, diarrhea, metallic taste, dizziness, headache, insomnia, loss of appetite, anorexia, abdominal cramps, red-brown urine, pruritus, and mild skin rash. These side effects usually go away once your 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, heart problem, blood disorder, liver impairment, and kidney malfunction. This will guide the doctor in planning your child’s overall treatment.

• Treatment of Parasitic infections

• Metrodil M Syrup may cause an altered taste. Eating citrus fruit or sipping plenty of water or fruit juice may help. 
• Your child must complete the entire course of the medicine. Stopping too soon may cause the pathogen(parasites) to multiply again and can lead to a recurrence of symptoms.
• Discontinue Metrodil M Syrup and inform the doctor immediately if your child develops a rash, itchy skin, swelling of face and mouth, or has difficulty in breathing.
• Never save the medicine for future illnesses since its effectiveness in future infections cannot be guaranteed.
