Can I change the dose of Sapsnas P Syrup for my child by myself based on the severity of illness?
No, it is not recommended to alter the dose of the medicine without consulting a doctor.

Can all children receive the same dose of Sapsnas P Syrup?
No. Sapsnas P Syrup cannot be given to everyone in the same dose. The doctor decides the appropriate dose based on the child's age and body weight.

When will my child feel better?
The doctor may advise you to keep giving Sapsnas P Syrup to your child for several days to weeks, depending on the severity of the illness.

If your child continues to feel unwell even after completion of the full prescribed course of the medicine, consult your child’s doctor as soon as possible.
