Frequently asked questions
How much Paralife Syrup should I administer to my child?
Always follow your doctor's instructions regarding dosage and frequency. The appropriate dose depends on the medication strength and age of your child. Refer to the label or leaflet within the packaging for specific instructions before use. Typically, a dose range of 10-15 mg/kg per dose every 4 to 6 hours is recommended. If you are unsure about the correct dosage, consult your child's healthcare professional.
