FAQs
How do I know my child needs Magnate P Paediatric Suspension?
If your child is eating less, complaining of stomach pain before or after eating, feeling nauseous, experiencing a sour taste, or having repeated bouts of cough while sleeping, then it may indicate excessive acidity and a need for medication.
What if my child takes too much Magnate P Paediatric Suspension?
Magnate P Paediatric Suspension is unlikely to cause harm if you give an extra dose by mistake. However, prolonged excessive intake of Magnate P Paediatric Suspension may result in serious side effects like gastrointestinal obstruction, constipation, and disturbed bowel movements. Make sure to give this medicine to your child strictly as per the prescribed dose, time, and way.
What causes acid reflux in my child?
Unlike adults, the angle between the food pipe and stomach is still in process of development in children. This makes it easier for the acid produced in the stomach to reach the food pipe and cause symptoms of acid reflux.
My child has a dry cough and is experiencing voice problems. Can it be related to acid reflux?
Yes, this could be due to acid reflux. The acid in the stomach can get pushed up to the vocal cords and throat and irritate while sleeping. This can result in a dry cough and voice change. In extreme cases, if this acid enters the lungs through the throat, it can lead to lung infections.
How should Magnate P Paediatric Suspension be stored?
Magnate P Paediatric Suspension should be stored at room temperature, in a dry place, away from direct heat and light. Also, keep all the medicines out of the reach and sight of children to avoid any accidental intake.
