FAQ

What other medicines should my child avoid while taking Sachrotril-R Sachet Orange?

Although Sachrotril-R Sachet Orange is not known to cause any interaction with other medicines, you should inform the doctor if your child is taking any medicine. It is best to narrate the complete medical history of your child as this will help the doctor understand your child’s needs better.

My child is one year old and is suffering from a neurological disorder. Is it safe to give Sachrotril-R Sachet Orange?

Usually, Sachrotril-R Sachet Orange does not enter into the central nervous system and lacks the potential to cause serious side effects such as neurotoxicity. But, since children below the age of 2 have underdeveloped membranes, there could be a chance of the medicine entering the brain and causing side effects. So, consult your child’s doctor before giving Sachrotril-R Sachet Orange in such a condition.

My child is passing watery stools mixed with blood and is also suffering from fever. Is Sachrotril-R Sachet Orange the right choice of treatment?

My child is suffering from long-term (chronic) diarrhea. Can I give Sachrotril-R Sachet Orange?

How long does Sachrotril-R Sachet Orange take to work?

Treatment with Sachrotril-R Sachet Orange should be continued until two normal stools are passed. However, if diarrhea does not get better after seven days of treatment you must talk to the doctor.

What if I forget to give Sachrotril-R Sachet Orange to my child?

Do not panic. You can give the missed dose medicine as soon as you remember unless your child’s doctor has advised otherwise. Remember not to double the dose to catch up with the missed one. In case of any confusion, do consult your child’s doctor.
