What precautions should be taken while using SPORIT GG SACHET 1 G?

Individuals who are allergic to any of the ingredients should not use this product. Consultation with a healthcare provider is essential if you have a weakened immune system (due to conditions like HIV/AIDS, cancer treatments, or organ transplants), severe gastrointestinal disorders such as acute pancreatitis, or diarrhea lasting more than 2 days, especially with a high fever. Alcohol consumption should also be avoided or limited during treatment, as it can interfere with gut health.

What happens if a dose of SPORIT GG SACHET 1 G is missed?

How should SPORIT GG SACHET 1 G be stored?

SPORIT GG SACHET 1 G should be stored in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight. It is recommended to keep each sachet in its foil blister pack until you are ready to use the product.
