Directions and Dosage

• Dosage for Kids: Dosage is individualized based on body weight or body surface area (e.g., 0.5 to 2 mg per kg of body weight per day). For severe acute flare-ups, doses should generally not exceed 60 milligrams per day.
• Dosage for Infants: Use is strictly limited and reserved for conditions where the benefit outweighs the risks. The lowest effective dose must be used for the briefest duration necessary.

This preparation is generally suitable for all ages requiring an oral liquid form. Therapy duration varies significantly depending on the condition being treated.

Contraindications

Should not be used in the presence of active systemic fungal infections that require internal antifungal agents. The suspension is also contraindicated for individuals with a known history of hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to the primary component or any other constituent.

Use in Pregnancy and Lactation

Use during the early stages of pregnancy may be associated with increased risks of low birth weight in the newborn. The active substance passes into the mother's milk and may potentially cause adverse effects, such as growth suppression, in a nursing child.

Special Precautions

• Increased susceptibility to and potential masking of signs of acute infection.
• Caution is necessary in patients with existing heart failure, high blood pressure, or a history of stomach ulcers.
• Abrupt cessation after prolonged administration can lead to severe withdrawal syndrome and adrenal insufficiency.
• Long-term therapy in children and adolescents can cause suppression of growth and development.

Is it safe to take it with other medications?

Taking this with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory compounds can increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. Certain drugs, including specific anticonvulsants, can accelerate the metabolism of this compound, potentially reducing its effectiveness. It may also diminish the desired response to certain immunizations and vaccines.

How should I store it?

Store the oral suspension at room temperature, protected from freezing and excessive heat exposure. Ensure the bottle is tightly capped immediately after each use to maintain product integrity.
