Scotmet Syrup

Give Scotmet Syrup to your child orally, preferably at a fixed time, either before or after food. In case your child develops stomach upset, prefer giving it with food. The usual frequency is twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. 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. The dose and duration depend upon the type and severity of the infection, your child’s age, and body weight, so stick to the dose, time, and way prescribed by the doctor.

Some children may develop minor and temporary side effects after taking this medicine. These include nausea, insomnia, headache, dizziness, diarrhea, vomiting, and 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, liver impairment, or kidney malfunction. This will guide the doctor in planning your child’s overall treatment.

• Treatment of Bacterial & parasitic infections

• If your child develops diarrhea as a side effect, encourage them to drink plenty of water.
• Scotmet Syrup may cause an altered taste. Eating citrus fruit or sipping plenty of water or fruit juice may help.
• Do not give any calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamin, or antacid to your child within 2 hours of taking Scotmet Syrup as these can affect the absorption of the medicine.
• Conditions like common cold and flu are caused by viruses. Never use this medicine for such conditions.
• Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again, become resistant, or cause another infection.
• Discontinue Scotmet 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.
