Benefits of Slep 500mg/5ml Syrup for your child

In Treatment of Insomnia

Insomnia is a common sleep disorder in which there is difficulty in falling or staying asleep at night. Often, the issue resolves itself over time. However, if your child experiences it more than three times a week for several months and significantly impairs their daytime functioning, it may point to insomnia or other sleep disorders. Slep 500mg/5ml Syrup works by slowing down the brain activities to allow sleep. This improves the quality of sleep and helps your child feel relaxed, refreshed, and more energetic.

In As a Sedative

Slep 500mg/5ml Syrup suppresses the brain center which keeps us awake, thereby making the child feel drowsy and sleepy. This as a result helps reduce pain and anxiety in a child before starting up any medical or surgical procedure. This technique ensures a hassle-free and fearless experience for a child and the doctor.
