The usual starting dose for adults and older people is two 5 ml spoonfuls three times a day.
Your doctor may then increase the dose to three 5 ml spoonfuls three times a day if necessary.

The dose for children depends on the child's weight. This is usually 0.25 ml per kg body weight three times a day.
