If the doctor has informed you that the child has intolerance to some sugars, consult your doctor before giving Hidrasec 10 mg to the child.

3. How to take Hidrasec 10 mg
Hidrasec 10 mg should always be given to the child according to the doctor's or pharmacist's recommendations. If in doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Hidrasec 10 mg comes in the form of granules for oral use.
The granules should be added to food or mixed with water in a glass or feeding bottle, well mixed, and given to the child immediately.
The recommended dose depends on the child's body weight: 1.5 mg/kg per dose (which corresponds to 1-2 sachets), 3 times a day at regular intervals.
For children with a body weight of up to 9 kg: one sachet per dose.
For children with a body weight of 9-13 kg: two sachets per dose.
The doctor will decide on the duration of treatment with Hidrasec 10 mg. Treatment should be continued until two normal stools are passed and should not last longer than 7 days.
To replace lost fluids due to diarrhea, this medicine should be used simultaneously with an adequate amount of fluids and salts (electrolytes). The best way
to replace fluids and electrolytes is to drink so-called oral rehydration solutions (in
case of doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist).
