The recommended dose of Hemangiol (Propranolol) oral solution is based on the child's body weight. The usual starting dose is calculated as 0.5 mg per kilogram of body weight, taken by mouth, 2 times a day. After 1 week, the doctor will increase the dose to 1 mg per kilogram of body weight, taken 2 times a day. After 1 week at this dose, the doctor will increase the dose to 1.5 mg per kilogram of body weight. Hemangiol (Propranolol) should be continued for 6 months and then stopped.
With the first dose and every time the dose is increased, the doctor may want you to wait for at least 2 hours, so the baby can be monitored to make sure heart rate and blood pressure remain normal and there are no severe reactions to the medication.
Use an oral syringe to measure each dose of the liquid, as it gives a more accurate measurement than household teaspoons. Do not shake the bottle before measuring the dose of medication.
Hemangiol (Propranolol) doses should be separated by at least 9 hours and given with feeds or immediately after the baby feeds to avoid low blood sugar levels. The medication may be mixed with 5 mL (for children weighing up to 5 kg) to 15 mL (for children weighing more than 5 kg) of milk or fruit juice in a baby bottle if necessary. This mixture should be used within 2 hours of preparation. To ensure the child gets the full dose of medication, do not put the dose in a full bottle.
Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.
It is important to give Hemangiol (Propranolol) exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If your child vomits or spits up after a dose, do not give another dose. Continue with the next dose at the regular time.
If you miss a dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
Store Hemangiol (Propranolol) at room temperature, protect it from light and moisture, and keep it out of the reach of children. Hemangiol (Propranolol) should be discarded 60 days after opening the bottle.
Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.
