Co-phenotrope tablets for diarrhoea

Name: Co-phenotrope tablets for diarrhoea

How to take co-phenotrope

Before you start this treatment, read the manufacturer's printed information leaflet from inside your pack. The manufacturer's leaflet will give you more information about the tablets and a full list of the side-effects which you may experience from taking them.
Start by taking four tablets, and then take a further two tablets every six hours until the diarrhoea is controlled. Do not take more than 10 tablets in 24 hours.
Co-phenotrope should not be taken by a child under 16 years of age unless it is on the advice of a doctor. If your child has been prescribed co-phenotrope, check the label carefully to make sure you know what dose to give, as the dose will depend upon your child's age.
If you forget to take a dose, do not worry, just take a dose after the next time you pass some diarrhoea. Do not take two doses together to make up for a missed dose.
