Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Meftal P is absolutely safe for the children.
Dosage is to be actually calculated by your pediatrician according to the body weight.
On an average for a 3 year old child, one can give about 5 ml of Meftal P at an interval of 6 hours.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Irshad H Naqvi
