Q. How long does Cado-Z Suspension take to work?
Treatment with Cado-Z Suspension should be continued until two normal stools are passed. However, if the diarrhea does not get better after seven days of treatment you must talk to the doctor. Make sure neither to extend nor to stop the treatment by yourself without consulting your child’s doctor. Doing so may have side effects or may lead to a recurrence of symptoms.
Q. My child is one year old and is suffering from a neurological disorder. Is it safe to give Cado-Z Suspension?
Usually, Cado-Z Suspension does not enter into the central nervous system and lacks the potential to cause serious side effects such as neurotoxicity. But, since children below the age of 2 have underdeveloped membranes, there could be a chance of the medicine entering the brain and causing side effects. So, consult your child’s doctor before giving Cado-Z Suspension in such a condition.
