Quick tips

If your child develops diarrhea as a side effect, encourage them to drink plenty of water.
Omet M Suspension may cause an altered taste. Eating citrus fruit or sipping plenty of water or fruit juice may help.

Conditions like common cold and flu are caused by viruses. Never use this medicine for such conditions.
