Overview Santolac R Sachet

Each Santolac R Sachet combines three active ingredients to alleviate acute diarrhea symptoms in infants and children. It works by diminishing stool water and electrolyte loss. This medication is typically administered when standard hydration and dietary adjustments are insufficient. Administer Santolac R Sachet orally to your child, with or without food, ideally alongside an oral rehydration solution (ORS). A usual dosage is three times daily, though adjustments are made based on the child's weight and age. If vomiting occurs within 30 minutes, repeat the dose after your child recovers. Ensure your child maintains adequate fluid intake and a balanced diet. While mild, temporary side effects like headache, rash, or constipation may occur, they usually resolve spontaneously. Persistent or bothersome side effects warrant immediate medical consultation. Inform your child's physician of any prior allergies, bowel obstructions, electrolyte imbalances, liver problems, or kidney dysfunction to facilitate appropriate treatment planning.
