Frequently asked questions
What if I accidentally give my child too much Alcon Plus Syrup? What are the potential risks?
Prolonged or excessive intake of Alcon Plus Syrup can lead to serious side effects like seizures, rapid heart rate, depression, cognitive defects, and difficulty concentrating. Always follow the prescribed dosage instructions on the packaging. To precisely measure the dose, utilize the calibrated cup provided by the manufacturer.

How should Alcon Plus Syrup be stored?

This is because multiple medications with similar ingredients can lead to an overdose and potential harmful effects. Always consult with your child’s doctor before administering any medication.

Never give your child medicines that are intended for adult use as they may have different formulations and could cause adverse side effects in children. Ensure you utilize medications specifically designed for use in children to avoid potential complications. Double-check the medication label before administering it to your child. Follow the recommended dosage precisely.
