How to take smecta for newborns is described in detail in the instructions. But there are a few recommendations. In small children, often with intestinal poisoning, there is a high temperature, and if you immediately give the child a large amount of diluted medicine, vomiting will immediately follow. Therefore, the medicine must be given from a spoon, often and in small doses. When using the drug "Smecta" instructions (for newborns, special conditions for admission) will help to properly dissolve and dose the medicine.
