Troubleshooting

Child refuses to take the medicine

Ensure the dose is measured accurately. The strawberry flavour is designed to be appealing, but if refusal persists, try administering it immediately after a preferred drink or food, or consult your pharmacist for alternative administration methods.

Suspension appears separated or contains lumps

Shake the bottle vigorously before each use. If the product still appears abnormal or contains significant lumps after thorough shaking, do not use it and seek a replacement.

No noticeable improvement in symptoms after administration

Ensure the correct dosage has been administered based on the child's weight and age. Allow sufficient time for the medication to take effect (refer to product information for typical onset time). If symptoms do not improve or worsen after 24-48 hours, consult a healthcare professional.
