Your child’s medicine at a glance

Give Predone Forte Syrup to your child with food. The usually prescribed frequency is once daily, preferably in the morning after breakfast. The dose of this medication will depend on your child’s clinical condition, body weight, age, and treatment response. Use Predone Forte Syrup only for the recommended duration of time. Do not prolong its use, more than recommended as that may lead to increased side effects. Also, do not stop giving this medicine suddenly. Sudden withdrawal may affect the ongoing treatment and the child may exhibit withdrawal symptoms such as dizziness, vomiting, and thirst. The dose needs to be gradually reduced before stopping it completely. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of taking Predone Forte Syrup, let the child calm down, and then give the same dose again.

The most common side effects associated with the use of Predone Forte Syrup include increased appetite, weight gain, increased blood pressure, and behavioral and mood changes. Many of these usually go away once the treatment is stopped. However, in case these persist or start bothering your child, consult your child’s doctor without any delay. Taking Predone Forte Syrup can also make it harder for your child to fight off infections. Tell the doctor if your child shows any signs of infection such as fever or sore throat.

Never practice self-medication, always consult your child’s doctor for advice. Your child’s doctor must be aware of your child’s entire medical history, including any previous episode of allergy, heart problem, liver impairment, and kidney malfunction. Having an insight into your child’s overall health will help. This will guide the doctor in planning your child’s overall treatment.

Frequently asked questions

Is Predone Forte Syrup a steroid?

Yes, Predone Forte Syrup is a steroid medicine also known as glucocorticoids which occur naturally in the body. These glucocorticoids help to maintain health and wellbeing. Predone Forte Syrup increases the corticosteroids levels in the body which helps in treating various illnesses involving inflammation (redness, tenderness, heat, and swelling).

Are there any serious side effects while my child is on Predone Forte Syrup?

We use medicines to make our children better, but sometimes they may cause some unwanted side effects. However, the occurrence of side effects in the case of short-term use is not commonly observed. Side effects are more likely to appear in case of high dose, increased dose or any long-term use. The doctor will use the lowest possible dose for as little time as possible to avoid side effects.

Can other medicines be given at the same time as Predone Forte Syrup?

Predone Forte Syrup can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Inform your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Predone Forte Syrup. Also, check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Predone Forte Syrup?

It is advised not to get your child vaccinated while they are on treatment with Predone Forte Syrup. Let your child recover from the ongoing illness and finish the course of the medicine. As soon as a child feels better, even if he or she is on antibiotics, the vaccine can be given after consulting the doctor.

In what conditions should I avoid giving Predone Forte Syrup to my child?

Avoid giving Predone Forte Syrup if your child is suffering from conditions like cardiac disease or congestive heart failure (except in the presence of active rheumatic carditis), hypertension, thromboembolic disorders, or diabetes mellitus. Predone Forte Syrup should also be avoided if your child has a family history of active TB, active herpes infection, osteoporosis, myasthenia gravis, or renal insufficiency.

How can I store Predone Forte Syrup at home?

Keep the medicine in a cool dry place out of the reach of children and pets. This will help avoid any accidental intake.

Can Predone Forte Syrup cause any behavioral problems?

One of the potential side effects of corticosteroid medicine is mood change, such as irritability which can lead to difficult behavior in some children. When used for the short term, it can increase blood pressure and blood sugar levels, causing some children to become hyperactive. For this reason, it is always recommended to give Predone Forte Syrup in the morning, so there is less impact on sleep.
