Good morning.
My two-year-old son has influenza A, the pediatrician prescribed Ebilfumin 75 mg. He weighs 13 kg, so I mix one capsule with water and give him 7.5 ml. We have been taking it for two days now, and his stool has become dark, almost black. Should I stop taking this medicine?

According to the manufacturer, a child weighing 13 kg should take 30 mg of oseltamivir twice a day.
That is, after dissolving the contents of the capsule in 7.5 ml of water, give the child 3 ml of suspension.
Please consult your paediatrician again whether the dosage method he or she proposes is safe.
A change in the color of the stool is not a typical side effect of this drug, even more so you should consult a pediatrician.
Side effects observed should be reported to the doctor, who will decide on further treatment. We write about why adverse drug reactions should be reported here:
