Always shake the bottle well before each dose to ensure even distribution of the medication. Use the measuring device provided; household spoons are inaccurate and can lead to incorrect dosage.
Measuring and Dispensing
If using a syringe, draw the medication slowly to avoid air bubbles. Gently expel any air before administering. For infants and young children, administer the medicine slowly, to the side of the mouth to minimize choking risk. Never force medication administration. If your child vomits after administration, contact your physician.
Storage and Handling
Store the liquid at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Discard any unused medication after its expiry date. Note that the color of the medication might slightly vary – this is usually acceptable, but if you notice a significant change or any unusual precipitation, consult your pharmacist.
Potential Side Effects
Monitor for diarrhea; this can be a sign of *Clostridium difficile* infection. If you notice severe or persistent diarrhea, contact your doctor immediately. Other possible side effects include nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Report any unusual symptoms to your physician.
