Gasacid-Kid Oral Drop
Your child’s medicine at a glance
Gasacid-Kid Oral Drop is a combination of three medicines and is given to children to reduce abdominal pain, bloating, discomfort, and cramps. It neutralizes excessive acid in the stomach and helps in the easy passage of gas. It also relieves spasms by relaxing the stomach and gut muscles.
Give Gasacid-Kid Oral Drop to your child by mouth, either before or after food. Prefer giving it after food if it causes stomach upset. Usually, it is given 4 to 5 times a day after meals. But, this dosing may vary, depending upon the clinical condition, body weight, and age of your child. Do not stop this medicine abruptly by yourself as it may bring back the symptoms or worsen your child’s condition. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of the intake of this medicine, help the child calm down and repeat the dose. However, if it is already time for the next dose, do not double the dose.
You must let your child’s doctor know about all the medicines your child is being given. Also, inform the doctor of any previous history of allergy, intolerance to any food products, abdominal obstruction, liver impairment, kidney malfunction, or any birth defects. This information is very important for dose alterations and for planning your child’s overall treatment.
