First day starts by taking first dose followed by the second one 8 hours later; on subsequent days the recommendation is simply 'morning' and 'evening' (usually around 12 hours apart). Take the medicine (crushed for smaller children) with high fat food or drinks like milk.

Make sure that the FULL 3 days treatment is taken at the recommended times, otherwise the infection may return. If your child vomits within an hour of taking the medicine, you will need to get additional tablets and repeat the dose.

ALSO TELL THE PARENT/ADULT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CHILD: If (NAME) has a high fever, fast or difficult breathing, is not able to drink or breastfeed, gets sicker or does not get better in two days you should take him/her to a health professional for treatment right away.
