Sumo L DS Suspension 60ml.

Your child's medication at a glance

Sumo L DS Suspension is a widely prescribed medicine that helps reduce pain and bring down high body temperature (fever) in children treating conditions such as headache, toothache, body ache, fever and common cold.

Sumo L DS Suspension is given orally at a fixed time each day. Although this medicine can be taken before or after food, it is better to give it after eating because it can irritate the lining of the empty stomach. The dose and duration will depend on your child's age, body weight and the severity of the infection, so follow the dose, time and regimen prescribed by your child's doctor. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of taking the medication, allow the child to calm down and repeat the same dose. Re-use is not recommended if your child becomes ill more than 30 minutes after taking a dose.

Do not give your child Sumo L DS Suspension with paracetamol along with other medicines (many cold and flu medicines and other painkillers), as this can lead to overdose and dangerous side effects like hepatotoxicity (liver damage). Always check the ingredients of any other medication before giving it to your child along with this medication.

Generally, this medication is well tolerated by children. However, temporary side effects such as indigestion, nausea and vomiting may occur in some children. If these episodes become bothersome for your child, consult your doctor.

This medication is often considered safe and effective but may not be suitable for everyone. Tell your doctor if your child is being treated for a blood-related disorder, is allergic to a medicinal compound, or has a birth defect, liver impairment, or kidney function. This will help your child's doctor better assess the dosage and appropriateness of this medicine.
