Vespilo-Forte Tablet

Vespilo-Forte Tablet is usually given to children to treat a wide range of symptoms associated with allergic conditions such as hay fever, urticaria (hives), conjunctivitis (red, itchy eye), and common cold. These symptoms may include watery eyes, runny nose, sneezing, and itching.

Vespilo-Forte Tablet may also be given to treat medicine-induced allergies. Give the medicine to your child by mouth with or without food in the dose and way prescribed by your child's doctor. It is usually given once a day. This is usually in the morning but may vary based on the timing of the symptoms. It starts to work immediately and your child's symptoms may begin to improve within 30 to 60 minutes of intake. However, if the medicine is used as a preventive measure, you may not see much difference in your child.

If your child vomits within 30 minutes of taking Vespilo-Forte Tablet, repeat the same dose once your child feels better. However, skip repeating this dose if it is already time for the next dose. Do not abruptly stop the medicine by yourself as sudden withdrawal of the medicine may result in recurrence of symptoms and worsen your child's condition. Therefore, it is advised to continue the treatment for the prescribed duration for maximum benefit.

Your child may experience minor and temporary side effects like nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, dizziness, sleepiness, and headache after the intake of this medicine. Usually, these symptoms subside once your child's body adapts to the medicine. However, in case of prolonged or bothersome events, it would be best to consult your child's doctor without any delay.

Inform your child's doctor if your child is on any medical regime or is allergic to any medicine, product, or food. Do share details with your child's doctor if your child has or had any heart, liver, or kidney problems. Any history regarding bowel obstruction, malnutrition, weight-related issues, and thyroid problems should also be well indicated to the doctor to avoid any complications in the treatment. Knowing the entire medical history will help your child's doctor make dose alterations and plan your child's overall treatment better.
