For children: In general, take 0.04 gram per kilogram of body weight (g/kg) (4 mg of the active ingredient [titer]/kg) at a time, twice a day, after meals. The dosage may be increased up to 0.06 g/kg (6 mg [titer]/kg) as needed. Strictly follow the instructions. Standard duration of administration is for 7 days or less. If you miss a dose, take a dose as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and follow your regular dosing schedule. You should never take two doses at one time.
