If vomited within 30 minutes, repeat the dose. Never double the next dose.
Missed dose: Give ASAP if near the next dose time, skip and continue as scheduled.
Side Effects
Common (usually mild and temporary):
Vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, stomach pain, allergies.
Consult the doctor if persistent or severe.
