Question
An 11-month-old baby has been experiencing diarrhea 4 to 5 times a day for three consecutive days, mainly starting in the evening. The question is about the continuous use duration of Simetade and potential complications.
Answer
For an 11-month-old baby, the recommended dosage for Simetade (Montmorillonite Powder) is one packet per day, divided into three servings. When using Simetade, it is important to avoid long-term use as excessive dosage may lead to constipation. If constipation occurs, medical attention should be sought immediately. Generally, the medication’s effectiveness will be fully realized within 1 to 2 days after taking it.
