Description
Product Overview: Macbery-XT Expectorant Sugar Free is specifically designed to effectively treat wet cough (cough with mucus) in children. It aids in thinning mucus by increasing its water content, which alleviates throat irritation and clears congestion for easier breathing.
Usage Instructions: Administer Macbery-XT Expectorant Sugar Free orally to your child, with or without food. Giving it with food can help minimize the risk of stomach upset. The duration of treatment may vary based on your child’s condition and the severity of the illness, typically ranging from a few days to weeks. Do not discontinue the medication prematurely, even if your child begins to feel better; complete the prescribed course. Avoid exceeding the recommended dosage for faster relief, as this may lead to unwanted side effects and worsen your child’s condition.
If your child vomits shortly after taking the medication, remain calm and give the same dose again. If it’s close to the next dose, skip the missed one—never double up. Consult your child’s doctor before using this medication long-term, and carefully read the label to avoid combining it with other cold and flu remedies.
Potential Side Effects: While side effects are generally mild and temporary, they may include excessive salivation, fatigue, headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach discomfort, irregular heartbeat, rash, tremors, and tingling sensations in the hands or feet. Contact your child’s doctor if any side effects are concerning or persistent.
Precautions: Provide your doctor with a complete medical history for your child, including any prior respiratory issues, allergies, heart conditions, blood disorders, birth defects, airway obstruction, lung anomalies, sinus problems, liver issues, and kidney dysfunction. This information is crucial for determining appropriate dosage and planning overall treatment.
