Troubleshooting

Child refuses to take the medicine

Ensure the syringe is clean. The orange flavor is generally well-accepted, but try offering a small sip of water or a mild, child-friendly drink afterwards. Double-check the dosage is correct and that the syringe is administered smoothly.

Difficulty drawing the correct dose

Make sure the bottle is shaken well. Ensure the syringe is inserted correctly into the bottle opening and that the plunger is pulled slowly and steadily to avoid air bubbles. If the suspension is too thick, gently warm the bottle in lukewarm water before shaking and drawing the dose.

Syringe parts are difficult to clean

Disassemble the syringe parts after each use. Rinse all parts thoroughly under warm running water. A small bottle brush can help clean the inside of the syringe tube if needed. Allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembling or storing.

Medication appears separated or lumpy after shaking

Shake the bottle very vigorously for at least 10-15 seconds to ensure the suspension is uniform. If separation persists and the product looks unusual, do not use it and contact the point of purchase or manufacturer.
