Always give Hidrasec to your child exactly as your doctor has told you. You should check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.
Hidrasec is supplied in the form of granules.
The granules should be added to food or mixed with water in a glass or baby bottle. Mix well and give immediately to your child.
The recommended daily dose depends on your child’s weight: 1.5 mg/kg per dose (corresponding to 1 to 2 sachets), three times daily at regular intervals.
In infants weighing up to 9 kg: one sachet per dose.
In infants weighing from 9 to 13 kg: two sachets per dose.
Your doctor will tell you how long the treatment with Hidrasec will last. It should be continued until your child has two normal stools, not exceeding 7 days.
To compensate for the loss of liquid due to your child’s diarrhea, this medicinal product should be used together with an adequate replacement of fluid and salts (electrolytes). The best replacement of fluid and salts is achieved with a so-called oral rehydration solution (please ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure).
