Question
A 9-month-old baby has taken pediatric amantadine granules but the fever has not subsided. The inquiry is about how long to wait before giving the baby pediatric Anfen amantadine granules (paracetamol suspension drops), as there is only this medication available at home.
Answer
Both pediatric amantadine granules and pediatric Anfen amantadine granules contain the same active ingredient, paracetamol, so they should not be taken simultaneously or within a short period of time. It is recommended to leave at least four hours between the two medications and to use them according to the instructions on the medication label.
