Patient's question:
I gave the child Enterostat, told her to take two pills on an empty stomach, and scheduled a follow-up next week. I was given four pills in total. I'm worried she might take them twice if she's not clear about it. If she takes two pills in a row, will there be any side effects? Are they serious?Doctor's answer:
Hello. According to the situation of your compliance. This medication may cause mild side effects in a small number of patients. These include mild headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dry mouth, fatigue, and other adverse reactions. No treatment is required, as the symptoms will resolve on their own. In some patients, the deworming effect may not appear until 3 to 10 days after taking the medication. During the course of treating parasitic infections, some patients may also experience adverse reactions of varying degrees. The severity of the reaction is related to the number of parasites, the site of infection, and the body's response.
