I'm wondering if it's safe to use the old cough syrup and pain relief syrup for my toddler that we opened and used a bit of about 6 months ago. Should I be worried about its effectiveness or safety now?

Losartan (Losar 50) is typically taken once daily.

Recommended Dosage Timing

Morning: Take Losar 50 in the morning, with or without food, to help control blood pressure throughout the day.

Why Morning?

Blood pressure control: Morning dosing helps maintain blood pressure control during the day.

Reduced nighttime effects: Taking Losar 50 in the morning may minimize potential nighttime side effects, such as dizziness or lightheadedness.

Previous Medication (Amlodipine 5)

Stopping medication abruptly: Suddenly stopping Amlodipine 5 without consulting a doctor may lead to rebound hypertension.

Consult a doctor: Before stopping or changing any medication, consult a doctor to ensure safe and effective blood pressure management.

Please Note

Monitor blood pressure regularly: Regularly check your mother's blood pressure to ensure the medication is effective.

My baby has been experiencing loose motion for the past couple of days and Im really worried. Is there any syrup or remedy you could suggest to help?

For a 1-year-old with loose motions, consult a pediatrician before administering any medication; however, they may recommend an oral rehydration solution like Pedialyte or Electral, and in some cases, a probiotic syrup like Lactobacillus or Saccharomyces boulardii to help restore gut balance.

My little one is 2 years and 2 months old, and I'm thinking about starting Junior Horlicks Stage 1. I'm unsure what the right age is since I noticed that both the Stage 1 and Stage 2 packs mention not giving it to children under 2 years old, but there's no more detailed age info. Could you help me with when might be a good time to start?

no problem you can take
