Zodak should be taken with caution in elderly patients (due to a possible decrease in glomerular filtration) and patients with chronic renal failure of severe and moderate severity (it is necessary to adjust the dosage regimen).

Method of administration and dosage

Zodak is taken orally, regardless of the meal. To avoid complications, the drug should be used only as directed by a doctor.

The tablets should be swallowed whole and washed down with a little water. Drops must be dissolved in water before use.

The regimen for taking the drug is determined by age:

• Adults and children over 12 years old: 10 mg (1 tablet, 2 scoops of syrup or 20 drops) once a day;
• Children 6-12 years old: 10 mg (1 tablet, 2 scoops of syrup or 20 drops) 1 time per day or 5 mg (1/2 tablet, 1 scoop of syrup or 10 drops) 2 times a day (in the morning or evening time);
• Children 2-6 years old: 5 mg (1 measuring spoon of syrup or 10 drops) once a day or 2.5 mg (1/2 measuring spoon of syrup or 5 drops) 2 times a day (in the morning or evening);

A dose of Zodak in the form of tablets for elderly patients and patients with severe functional impairment of the kidneys and / or liver is prescribed individually, in a reduced dose.

The daily dose of syrup and drops for oral administration in patients with renal failure should be halved. With functional disorders of the liver, the dose is selected individually (as a rule, it is reduced by 2 times; special care is required with simultaneous renal failure). No dose adjustment is required in elderly patients with normal renal function.

If Zodak was accidentally missed, the next dose should be taken as soon as possible. In cases where the time of the next drug intake is approaching, the dose (without increasing) should be taken according to the schedule.

• Digestive system: dyspepsia, dry mouth;

special instructions

The daily dose of syrup (10 ml) contains 3000 mg of sorbitol, which corresponds to 0.25 XE (bread unit). Sugar is not included in the drops, therefore Zodak in this dosage form can be taken by patients with diabetes mellitus.
