FAQs

How long does Rasidot 10mg Powder take to work?

Treatment with Rasidot 10mg Powder should be continued until two normal stools are passed. However, if the diarrhea does not get better after seven days of treatment you must talk to the doctor. Make sure neither to extend nor to stop the treatment by yourself without consulting your child’s doctor. Doing so may have side effects or may lead to a recurrence of symptoms.

My child is one year old and is suffering from a neurological disorder. Is it safe to give Rasidot 10mg Powder?

Usually, Rasidot 10mg Powder 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 Rasidot 10mg Powder in such a condition.

My child has milk intolerance. Can I give Rasidot 10mg Powder to my child?

No, children having intolerance to dairy products and milk are advised not to take this medicine as it contains lactose.
