Doctor has prescribed my daughter, the above medicine because she has grade 3 constipation however I am confused about the dosage since he has mentioned 1 unit in prescription slip. As per medical store one unit means 8.5g sachet hence I am giving her 8.5g once in a day and also the same dosage has been written over bottle body.
So I want to know is it right dosage or i am missing something.
