Zantac rash??

[scarlet121]

Hi there, I just worked out his dose and for a 7kg child the maximum daily dose according to zantac manufacturers is 1.6ml 3 times a day.

I do know a lot of kids that go over, with no problems, zantac is a very safe drug, doctors generally prescribe it wrong, but maybe in him this little bit extra is causing a rash.

We have never had a problem with this kind of side effect though. I would say that it would be a rare one thoguh, cause zantac in iteself is an antihistamine and it should take away rashes.

I Have just recently had to put my son on zantac, and guess what i read your bubs birth date and blow me down my little man kade was born on the same day at 1.08am friday the 18th jan, Kade also has a rash but i thought it was like a heat rash or that my husband and i get a similar rash so i thought nothing of it. I just contacted my GP as the zantac has helped a bit, but he still screams in pain as he has silent reflux, and it isnt just a scream, its horrendous and i cant watch my baby scream in pain like that anymore, i cant go anywhere incase he starts, so have just got a referall to a paediatrician, even if she tells me the same at least it will set my mind at ease.

Let me know what your doctor said....
