According to the leaflet of the drug Levopront, the dosage in children of this age depends on body weight: - for a child weighing 10-20 kg it is 3 ml of syrup 3 times a day - for a child weighing 20-30 kg it is 5 ml of syrup 3 times a day: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/92559/levopront-syrop/apteki The manufacturer states that a single dose of the drug allows you to reduce the cough reflex for at least 6 hours. In this case, a difference of 1 hour will not affect the effects of the drug. The maximum time of using the drug without consulting a doctor is 7 days. In addition, in the event that during the use of the drug the symptoms worsen or the effect of the drug is insufficient, it is also recommended to consult a doctor. It is possible to use the teleadvice offered, m.in. by the Gdziepolek.pl portal: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja Until the consultation with the doctor, you can use additional throat coating preparations on your child, containing, for example, Icelandic lichen. In online and stationary pharmacies, preparations are available in the form of m.in lozenges or syrups. Choosing an online pharmacy allows you to compare prices and order preparations with home delivery or personal collection at the pharmacy. Coating and soothing preparations are available, such as: - Icelandic syrup (for children over 1 year old): https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/76618/syrop-islandzki-syrop/apteki - Petit Drill (for children over 6 months old): https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/60853/petit-drill-syrop/apteki - Fiorda Junior (for children over 4 years old): https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/29890/fiorda-junior-o-smaku-malinowym-pastylki-lamelki-zelki/apteki - Fiorda spray (for children over 1 year old): https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/102374/fiorda-spray-aerozol/apteki Moisturizing the throat and relieving irritation should reduce the frequency and intensity of dry cough attacks in the child.

Zgodnie z Kartą Charakterystyki Produktu Levopront dawkowanie u dzieci w tym wieku zależy od masy ciała:
10-20 kg: 3 ml syropu 3 razy na dobę;
20-30 kg: 5 ml syropu 3 razy na dobę.
Pojedyncza dawka pozwala zmniejszyć odruch kaszlu na okres co najmniej 6 godzin. w tym przypadku różnica 1 godziny nie będzie mieć wpływu na efekty działania leku.
