Perinorm Syrup – 60 ml

Description

Perinorm Syrup – 60 ml Bottle

Composition (Per 5 ml):

• Metoclopramide Hydrochloride – 5 mg
  (Metoclopramide is a medication that enhances the movement of the stomach and intestines, helping with the proper digestion and reducing symptoms like nausea and vomiting. It acts by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain, particularly those in the gastrointestinal tract.)

Indications:

Perinorm Syrup is commonly prescribed for conditions related to nausea, vomiting, and gastrointestinal motility. It is particularly used for:

• Nausea and vomiting: Caused by conditions like gastroenteritis, chemotherapy, or post-surgery recovery.
• Gastric reflux: Helps in the management of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), where stomach acid moves into the esophagus causing discomfort.
• Gastroparesis: A condition where the stomach takes too long to empty its contents, leading to symptoms like bloating, nausea, and vomiting.
• Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV): After surgery, this syrup may help manage nausea and vomiting.
• Dyspepsia (indigestion): To treat symptoms like bloating, heartburn, or discomfort in the upper abdomen due to delayed gastric emptying.

Dosage:

• As prescribed by a healthcare provider, typical dosages include:
  • Adults: 10 ml (2 teaspoons) up to 3-4 times a day, depending on the severity of symptoms and the doctor’s recommendation.
  • Children (2-12 years): 5 ml (1 teaspoon) up to 3 times a day.

  Note: The exact dosage and duration depend on the condition being treated and should be followed according to the healthcare provider’s guidance.
