Product introduction

Dori-DS Oral Suspension Orange is an antispasmodic medicine. In children, it is used in the treatment of abdominal pain. It provides relief from the pain associated with irritable bowel syndrome, intestinal or kidney stones, or other gastrointestinal diseases.

Give Dori-DS Oral Suspension Orange to your child at a fixed time either before or after food. If your child develops a stomach upset, it is best to give it with food. The doctor will prescribe the dose considering your child’s clinical condition, body weight, and age. Usually, it is given two to three times a day. It is most likely that the doctor will start with a low dose of Dori-DS Oral Suspension Orange and gradually increase the dose. Stick to the dose, time, and way as prescribed. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of taking this medicine, give the same dose again, but skip it if it's already time for the next dose.

Dori-DS Oral Suspension Orange can cause some minor and temporary side effects like nausea, dry mouth, blurred vision, weakness, and nervousness. Usually, these episodes subside once your child’s body adapts to the medicine. However, in case these effects persist or start bothering your child, consult your child’s doctor without any delay.

Let your child’s doctor know if your child is already taking any medicines. Also, narrate your child’s complete medical history, including any prior episodes of allergy, heart problem, blood disorder, vascular disorders, birth defects, airway obstruction, lung anomaly, skin disorder, liver impairment, and kidney malfunction. This information is critical for dose alterations and in planning your child’s overall treatment.
