Is There Any Side Effects From Taking Overdose Of Betanoid Syrup?
Hi, my husband gave my son a second dose of Betanoid syrup to my 2 year old son without realising at the time that he was only meant to have one dose (10ml) daily. Are there any side effects after an overdose like this or is this mild - it has been about 10 hours between each 10ml.

Hello,
- Betanoid syrup is a steroid syrup
- One day of having two doses of 10 ml instead of one should not cause any harm. Please do not worry
- Go back to the prescribed regimen
- Please be careful when stopping as medications with steroids need gradual tapering off when used for more than 3 weeks
- Your son will be fine
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
