The doctor may advise you to keep giving Nimutal MF to your child for a few days to weeks, depending upon the severity of the illness.

In case your child continues to feel unwell even after completion of the full prescribed course of the medicine, consult your child’s doctor as soon as possible.

How much Nimutal MF should I give to my child?

Your doctor will prescribe the dose according to your child’s condition and body weight. Stick to the prescribed dosing schedule as that is the best way to ensure safe and complete recovery of your child.

What if I forget to give Nimutal MF to my child?

Do not panic. Give the missed as soon as you remember. However, you should skip the missed dose if it is already time for the next dose or if your child’s doctor has asked you not to make up for missed doses. Never give a double dose and follow the prescribed dosing schedule.
