Looking Dosage For Meftal Syrup To Be Given To A Child Of 23 Kg
Question: how much dose can be given to kid whose weight is 23 kg if we want to give meftal syrup ?
Hi
Mefanamic Acid is a NSAID
What is the indication of the same ? Do not give any medicine to you child without medical supervision
The Dosage depends on the age :
Between 5 and 8 years of age the dosage can be safetly given up to 150mg three to four times a day
Preferably maintain the same time of the doses
Most preparations contain 50mg of active medicine in 5 ml, so a XXXXXXX of three * 5m at a time should work
Hope this helps
Am Available for followup queries
