Is vomiting after taking Ebilfumin a basis for another tablet?

My son (5 years old, 16 kg) every time after administering Ebilfumil 45, about 40 minutes after taking everything, returns everything. Is it necessary to administer the drug a second time? I do not know if something has been left in the body ... I also do not know whether to give it if every time there is vomiting anyway ...

Ebilfumin contains an antiviral substance, oseltamivir. Unfortunately, this substance more often than 1 in 10 patients causes nausea, vomiting. To reduce this side effect, you can try to give the drug after eating, as food does not affect the absorption of the drug. Looking at the pharmacokinetic properties of the drug, it should be noted that oseltamivir is very quickly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. The form that is contained in the Ebilfumin capsule is the so-called prodrug. That is, it does not show action until it has evolved into an active form. This transformation occurs in the liver. Studies have shown that after just 30 minutes, the active form of the drug appears in the blood. For this reason, I do not recommend giving another dose if vomiting occurs about 40 minutes after oral administration of the drug. For my part, I would like to point out that it is best to start administering Ebilfumin at the first symptoms of influenza.

The occurrence of vomiting and fever promotes dehydration of the body. You can read more about electrolytes in this article: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/kategorie/elektrolity. An example of a preparation for children is Orsalit, its availability in pharmacies can be checked in this link: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/57960/orsalit-o-smaku-malinowym-proszek-do-wytworzenia-zawiesiny/apteki.
