Rectol

Rectol 170 Suppository is meant to be placed inside the rectum (bottom area). It uses the body's heat and melts inside, resulting in direct absorption into the bloodstream and rendering quick relief. Use Rectol 170 Suppository as directed by your child’s doctor. Before insertion, wash your hands properly. Guide your child to lie down sideways or on the belly. Hold one buttock gently to get access to the rectal area. Unwrap the medicine and hold the rounded end close to the rectum. Use one finger to gently push Rectol 170 Suppository into the rectum. Ask your child to remain still for about 15 minutes as it will prevent the medicine from popping out. Clean your hands again with soap and water to ensure hygiene.

It will depend on the strength of the medicine and the age of your child. Always follow your doctor's instructions regarding how much and how often the medicine should be given to your child. In case you are not sure about how much to give, consult your child’s doctor.

You can give this medicine if your child has a temperature of 38.3°C (101°F) or higher. But, you must always try to speak to your child’s doctor first.

If the fever doesn't come down, the cause might be an infection (virus or bacteria). It is advised to consult your child’s doctor for specific treatment.

Keep this medicine beyond the reach of the children. To prevent melting, keep the medicine in the refrigerator but do not freeze.

It is advised to use Rectol 170 Suppository with caution if the child has malnutrition, G6PD deficiency, liver disease, or any medicinal allergy. So, do not hesitate to share your child’s complete medical history with the doctor as that will help the doctor decide whether the medicine is safe for your child or not.
