help to relax ## Sorry, this isn't listed in any of the U.S. databases, drugs from other countries are not as strictly regulated, so information is often not readily available. I suggest asking your doctor or pharmacist for more information.

My 6 year old was advised by the doctor to take the heraclene 1 mg capsule twice a day. Is this good for my son? Are there any side effects that he needs to be aware of taking it twice a day? ## What are the dosage of heraclene capsule for ages 5yrs old ## my child is 3 1/2 yo should i give her heraclene 1 g twice a day? thanks ## If the child's doctor has said they should take it, then they should certainly do so, it is a supplement that it used to increase appetite, it is an active form of vitamin B12. The NIH does warn that it sometimes cause nausea, due to its potency. Are any of your children on any other medications? ## Anak kopo lahat nmn kinakaen kaso ndi po tlaga sya tumataba grabe nmn po taba nya nung 2 year old sya ngaun 6 year old napo sya thin napo sya payatot po tlaga....

appetite stimuant ## This medication is unavailable in the U.S. and I am sorry to say that other countries do not regulate their prescription drugs as strictly as the FDA does.

what is the effect of a 6 yrs old child drank 13 caps of heraclene 3mg ## Too much of anything is dangerous and if you are afraid that someone may be in danger, you should always contact a doctor or your nearest emergency treatment center immediately. This is a form of Vitamin B12 and yes, even though it is a vitamin, taking too much of it can have serious consequences. These could manifest as: diarrhea, hives, skin rash, trouble breathing and heart palpitations. In many cases, they will disappear as the medication is processed out of the body and there are no serious, long-term effects. However, if you see any signs of these lasting for a prolonged period of time or any unusual behavior, then they need medical attention. Are there any questions or comments?

i am fixing to give this heraclene dibencozide for my 2 1/2 yr old son because he is not eating enought and always no apetite ...Is there any side effects for using this medecine ? ## Has your doctor instructed you to use this? Children generally go through phases, where they have less appetite, for awhile and then their appetites will suddenly increase, for a period of time, just before a growth spurt. This is completely normal and you really shouldn't worry about it, unless he is severely underweight for his age and size. Dibencozide, also known as Cobamamide, is an active form of Vitamin B12, so it is not an actual medication, it is a nutritional supplement. It can, however, sometimes stimulate the appetite, in some people, if a lack of it is what is causing them to have less of ...

contraindication of dibencozide heracline ## Dibencozide is a form of vitamin B12, since it is a nutritional supplement and not a medication, the side effect profiles and contraindications have not been studied.
