Quick Tips
Try giving the medicines at the same time each day to help you remember. Your child may feel sleepy or dizzy after each dose of Lecope Syrup. If this happens, make your child sit or lie down and ask them to be careful while performing tasks that require mental focus. Avoid giving Lecope Syrup with fatty meals and fruit juice as both can reduce the absorption of the medicine. Dry mouth can occur as a side effect of taking Lecope Syrup. Taking sips of water may help. Lecope Syrup can trigger constipation in your child. Give plenty of fluids and a fiber-rich diet to your child. Lecope Syrup should be avoided in children who are less than 4 years of age as there is a risk of respiratory distress.
