Could Duspatal Retard 200 Be Given Instead Of Duspatalin 135 Mg?
My 11 yo son, who is 118cm and 18.5kg, has been prescribed Duspatalin 135 mg tablets for Irritable Bowel Syndrom. He cannot swallow the tablets, but can easily swallow capsules. I notice that there is a capsule form, Duspatal Retard 200. Can he take that instead? Thank you for any help you can offer.

Hi
Retard tablet causes sustained release of drug over prolonged period.
The retard tablet cant be used as the dosage will exceed.
I would suggest you to dissolve the tablet in juice and give it6 to him
