Children's medicine: questions to ask before buying
The bottle on the shelf may look familiar, but the right product depends on the child and its label.
Three practical points
- Tell the pharmacist the child's age, current weight, symptoms and allergies.
- Bring the actual bottle or a clear label photo. Ask them to show you how to measure the recommended amount.
- Ask which symptoms mean you should stop home care, and write the answer beside the medicine instructions.
In the Philippines, contact your usual health center, pharmacist or appropriate clinician for individual advice. Service availability and fees vary; ask the provider directly.
