Your child’s medicine at a glance

It is most likely that the doctor will start with a low dose of Ambrospas 5mg/125mg Oral Suspension and gradually increase the dose. Stick to the dose, time, and way as prescribed. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of taking this medicine, give the same dose again, but skip it if it is already time for the next dose.
