Nizonide Suspension

Nizonide Suspension is used orally for the treatment of diarrhoea in children caused by parasites/protozoa. Parasites are the micro-organisms that live in other's bodies and use their body's nutrients to reproduce. This medicine interferes with their energy production and effectively kills the micro-organisms (Giardia and Cryptosporidium species). The common side effects of Nizonide Suspension use are nausea, vomiting, headache, urine discolouration and stomach pain. These side effects usually go away once your child’s body adapts to the medicine. Nizonide Suspension may make your child feel dizzy and sleepy. However, consult your child’s doctor at the earliest in case these side effects persist for long or start bothering your child. Discontinue Nizonide Suspension and inform the doctor immediately if your child develops a rash, itchy skin, swelling of face and mouth, or has difficulty in breathing. Give Nizonide Suspension to your child with food to provide better absorption and to avoid an upset stomach. Your child's doctor will decide the dose and duration of this medicine based on the severity of the infection and your child's body weight. Ensure to complete the course and avoid doubling the dose in case a dose is missed. To make sure Nizonide Suspension is safe for your child, share the entire medical and medication history of your child with your doctor. This information is critical as it can help your child's doctor to plan the overall treatment and to make dose adjustments if required for your child.
