philamom Posted November 9, 2012 Report Posted November 9, 2012 When using Alka Seltzer Gold for detox in a child, do you give 1 or 2 tablets? My dd is 11 yrs and around 70lbs. I gave her one tablet yesterday and today. Thanks.
SSS Posted November 9, 2012 Report Posted November 9, 2012 Hmm, not sure it's an issue, but I weigh 103 and always take the 2? It just says take the 2. How'd she do? Great you got her to drink it, hope it helped!
philamom Posted November 9, 2012 Author Report Posted November 9, 2012 On the box it says to give 1 tablet if under 12 (she's 11). It must've helped some- she was willling to drink it a second time without coaxing (unlike her). Don't have Stevia to add yet. I think I noticed some improvement, lasting a short few hours. Did you use it more than once a day?
SSS Posted November 9, 2012 Report Posted November 9, 2012 Sorry, I didn't read the dosage :-/ No, I haven't used it more than once a day- I guess I've found 1x a day does the trick- just read the box, says under 12, do not exceed 4 tablets in 24 hours. So glad it is helping!
philamom Posted November 9, 2012 Author Report Posted November 9, 2012 Oh no. I just remembered you're not supposed to take antacids the same time as zith. I started dd on 1/4 tablet of zith daily this week, and have been giving the alka seltzer gold an hour later.
