Dosage of Emzolyn for Children Always follow the age-specific dosage on the label or your doctor's instructions.

• Children 2 to 5 years: Usually 2.5ml to 5ml, taken 3 to 4 times daily.
• Children 6 to 12 years: Usually 5ml to 10ml, taken 3 to 4 times daily.
• Under 2 years: Do not use without direct medical supervision from a pediatrician.
• Measuring: Always use the provided measuring cup or oral syringe for accuracy.

Proper Administration

• Timing: Can be taken with or without food.
• Nighttime Use: Many parents find it most helpful to give a dose 30 minutes before bedtime to help the child sleep through the cough.
• Duration: Do not use for more than 5 consecutive days. If the cough persists, is accompanied by a high fever, or if a rash develops, consult a doctor.

How to Store and Dispose of Emzolyn

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C. Keep the bottle tightly closed and away from direct sunlight.
• Disposal: Keep out of reach of children. Return expired bottles to a pharmacy.

Quick Tips for Parents

• Hydration: Encourage your child to drink plenty of warm water or broth. This helps naturally soothe the throat and thin any mucus.
• Humidity: Using a cool-mist humidifier in the child's room can help prevent the throat from drying out at night.
• Avoid Multi-Dosing: Do not give your child other "cold and flu" medicines at the same time as Emzolyn, as they may contain the same active ingredients, leading to an overdose.
