Frequently asked questions
What if I give too much OA Cold Syrup by mistake?
Exceeding the prescribed dosage of OA Cold Syrup can lead to serious side effects such as seizures, rapid heart rate, depression, cognitive impairment, and difficulties focusing. Always use the calibrated cup provided with the medication for accurate dosing. Avoid using a kitchen teaspoon as it will not provide the correct amount.
How can I store OA Cold Syrup?
OA Cold Syrup should be stored at room temperature, away from direct heat and light in a dry place. Keep all medicines out of reach and sight of children to prevent accidental ingestion.
My child has a cough and fever. Can I give him two medicines together?
Do not administer multiple medications for the same condition (e.g., cough and cold) without explicit guidance from your child's healthcare professional. Combining multiple medications of similar composition might lead to an overdose, which can be harmful. Always consult a doctor before administering any medication to your child.
Can I give my cough medicine to my child?
Never give your child medicines intended for adults. Always use formulations specifically designed for children as these reduce the risk of side effects. Ensure you understand the correct dosage and administration method. It's best to consult with a doctor if symptoms persist or worsen after treatment.
Can OA Cold Syrup make my child sleepy?
OA Cold Syrup may cause mild drowsiness, which can lead to fatigue in children. Do not use the medicine as an intervention for sleep; rather, consult your healthcare provider if sleep difficulties persist.
