How long does the relief last?

Can I give this to my baby if they are under 3 months old?

Is it safe to use with other medications?

What should I do if I miss a dose?

If you miss a dose, administer it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for the next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with the regular dosing schedule. Do not give a double dose to make up for a missed one.

Why is it sugar-free and colour-free?

The sugar-free and colour-free formulation is designed to be gentler for children, particularly those with dietary sensitivities or who may be prone to hyperactivity, and to avoid contributing to dental issues.

Ensure the syringe is clean and properly assembled. Offer the medicine slowly. If your child has difficulty swallowing, consult the packaging for alternative administration methods or speak to a pharmacist.
