My grand child is 14 months old. He it' s been diagnosed vur. He has been prescribed urifast tab. 12. 5mg at night for prophylaxis. I am facing problem in administering the medicine at night. He usually vomits after about half an hour of taking the medicine, if I give it with food at night. If, I try to give him when he is about to fall asleep, he goes to sleep before I am able to give the complete medicine mixed with food. My questions are: 1. Can the medicine be given in two doses and at what interval. 2. Can it be given any time during the day time 3. Any other suggestions for administering the medicine which the child refuses to take or vomits either due to its taste or after some other reaction? thanks
