According to the Summary of Product Characteristics, a dose of 1 ml/kg/day is usually used in 2-3 divided doses. According to this information, the total dose of the drug for a child weighing 16.5 kg is about 16.5 ml in 2-3 divided doses. The dose recommended by the doctor - 4 ml per day is almost four times lower than the usual dose in children. However, please remember that the doctor, guided by his own knowledge and experience, may recommend a dosage other than the usual one recommended. However, if you have any doubts, I encourage you to contact your doctor again to make sure that the medicine is to be dosed in this way. Constipation in preschool children is a common problem, which is often psychological. Nevertheless, it is worth taking care of the right amount of fiber in the diet, proper hydration of the body and movement. In the event that bowel movements are accompanied by irritation of the mucous membrane manifested by bleeding, as an adjunct, rectal microingots for children based on honey can be used as an adjunct, which relax the fecal mass, facilitating defecation and forming a protective layer on the surface of the mucous membrane, protecting it from irritation. An example of this type of product can be found in the following link: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/47931/aboca-melilax-pediatric-plyn/apteki
