My son is one and half years old. His weight is 12 kgs. He is suffering from mild fever and vomitting. The doctor has prescribed him Ondem syrup and Calpol syrup.I want to know the dosages of ondem syrup how often to be given before food.- Regards. Pradeep.
Dear Pradeep, Hi & Welcome. Please find the details below:1. Cal pol syrup contains antipyretic (temperature lowering medication) can be given at the dose of 15 mg per kilogram of body weight. Since your son weighs 12 kg it should have 12 x 15 mg, which is 180 mg. This dose can be taken once every 4 to 6 hours, up to 4 times/day.2. ODEM syrup contains anti-emetic medication Ondansetron, the dose of which is 0.15 mg/kg/dose given as per requirement. 12 x 0.15 mg which is 1.8 mg can be given 3 times daily. Hope this answers your query.
