Question 1

can i give my 8 yo childrens motrin 4 hours after childrens dimetap?

Accepted Answer

: Yes, Motrin does not interfere with or interact poorly if Dimetapp is in their system. The timing of doses can be near the same time or separate as indicated by the situation.

Question 2

how many stages does dimenta have?

Accepted Answer

Dementia Stages?: There are no specific, discreet stages to dementia. Somebody might create stages as a way to facilitate a discussion of the topic.  In any case, a great book to read on the subject is called the 36 hour day.  It's a book that's been updated over the decades and is most helpful to many people.

Question 3

what do i do if a three year old recieved 7.5ml of diametapp that was expired 2 months ago?

Accepted Answer

Dimatapp: It probably is ok.  But i would now discard the medication, knowing that it is expired.

Question 4

can i give my 3 year old dimatap?

Accepted Answer

Over the..: ....Counter cold medicines are approved over the age of four....But not much good at any age.  I find honey better for cough, and saline and nasal aspiration more useful for congestion.

Question 5

can a child take dimetapp and cefidinir together?

Accepted Answer

Yes...but: Studies in the US has shown little if any value to meds like Dimetapp for that age group. It can actually thicken secretion &amp; delay clearing of middle ear fluid during an infection. It was in very common use until data on ER visits due to overdoses led to close study.  I haven't suggested its use in decades.

Question 6

what is the definition or description of: dimetapp?

Accepted Answer

Cold medicine: Dimetapp is a brand name of a cold medicine that contains brompheniramine and pseudoephedrine.  Brompheniramine is an antihistamine that  prevents sneezing, itchy watery eyes and nose; and other symptoms of allergies and hay fever.  Pseudoephedrine is a decongestant, which reduces the blood flow to certain areas and allows nasal passages to open up.

Question 7

please tell me the difference between dimetapp and brotap?

Accepted Answer

Dimetapp vs brotapp: More or less the same, both contain an antihistamine,  ( bropheniramine) and a decongestant (phenylephrine in dimetapp, pseudo-ephedrine in brotapp), same indications and contraindications, read the labels carefully and don't exceed recommend dosages, best wishes

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Not  problem: The antibiotic Amoxicillin and dimetapp are often used together without problem.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Dieta: Es muy importante de evitar las grasas y los alimentos con proteínas.

Question 10

how much dimetapp to give my 4 month old?

Accepted Answer

I don't: I find this or any such medication will have no benefit to kids in this age group. Nasal saline wash is the only thing I use with these kids.
