This is typically a digestive/appetite tonic. It helps improve appetite and supports digestion by stimulating gastric secretions and improving gastrointestinal function (exact mechanism depends on the formulation).

How to take Caroid Syrup

Shake well before use. Take the prescribed dose using a measuring cup/spoon, usually after meals. Follow your doctor’s advice; do not exceed the recommended dose.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take the missed dose of Caroid as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed one and carry on with the usual schedule. Do not take two doses together to make up for a missed dose.

If you take too much

Taking more Caroid than prescribed can be harmful. If you suspect an overdose, contact a doctor or go to the nearest emergency department at once, and carry the pack or strip with you. In India the emergency number is 112.
