FAQs

How long does REDOTIL 30 MG SACHET take to work?

Treatment with REDOTIL 30 MG SACHET 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 REDOTIL 30 MG SACHET?

Usually, REDOTIL 30 MG SACHET 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 REDOTIL 30 MG SACHET in such a condition.

My child has milk intolerance. Can I give REDOTIL 30 MG SACHET to my child?

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

My child is passing watery stools mixed with blood and is also suffering from fever. Is REDOTIL 30 MG SACHET the right choice of treatment?

No, do not give REDOTIL 30 MG SACHET if your child is passing stools mixed with blood or pus along with having a high body temperature (fever). These symptoms are indicative of some underlying pathology (infection) and may require some other line of treatment.

My child is suffering from long-term (chronic) diarrhea. Can I give REDOTIL 30 MG SACHET?

The use of REDOTIL 30 MG SACHET in chronic diarrhea has not been sufficiently studied. Therefore, it is best to consult your child’s doctor before giving this medicine to your child for long-term diarrhea.

What all other medicines should my child avoid while taking REDOTIL 30 MG SACHET?

Although REDOTIL 30 MG SACHET is not known to cause any interaction with other medicines, you should inform the doctor if your child is taking any medicine. It is best to narrate the complete medical history of your child as this will help the doctor understand your child’s needs better.
