medicine

rentetan kajian saya bersama cik haniza mengapa iskandar kurang menyusu, cik haniza selaku pegawai farmasi telah membekalkan saya ubat-ubatan dari hospital kuala lumpur untuk kegunaan iskandar. apabila ditanya berapa yang harus dibayar jawabnya : 'saya tak terima rasuah'. eh pulak? aku tanya bape harga ubatan itu. rupernya free. ingatkan murah bukan totally free. mari lihat ubat-ubatan yang haniza rasa perlu untuk bayi bernama iskandar itu


1) paracetamol - liquid
I was given this by the hospital during Iskandar's injection when he turned 6 weeks for fever. On the left is brand Feril given by Haniza while on the right is Uphamol. Both with same dosage, for babies. So far I don't have to give Iskandar the paracetamol but Haniza said just in case.

2) paracetamol - capsule

This is another form of medicine for babies. I specifically requested this from Haniza instead of the liquid form since I already have a bottle of it. However she wants to give both even though she prefers the liquid *baik la Haniza, terima kasih!*. In case Iskandar refuse to take the liquid form, I have an alternative.

3) Normal Saline and Xepanicol

These are eye drops. I was given the Xepanicol (green) by doctor in Labis when we went to check Iskandar's red eye. We were told by the doctor to give only one drop daily for the baby. Haniza said the dosage might be too strong for babies. My mother advice was to use breast milk instead for his sore eye. We only used it once though.

The Normal Saline was given by Haniza for Iskandar's nose block to be used 3 times daily. When I checked with other nasal products it contained the same minerals. Advise by Haniza must be good then *not like i dont' trust her or under estimate her ability*. So people, instead of spending money for the nice packaging for the nasal *kononnya easier to be used* which much more expensive, why don't you opt for the saline. Further, most eye drops expiry date are within 3 months upon discarding the protective neck seal.

4) Royce Enema

Iskandar always have problem during his 'private' session which requires assistance from the parents. The doctor advise to use petroleum jelly and cotton buds to stimulate the discarding process. Haniza gave this an alternative from our normal procedure. The small tube at the capping will be inserted through the anus. The royce enema contain sodium - similar with the eye drops but it comes with additional compound - oil. We tried using this only once (without inserting) due to the rough surface of the tube.

5) Syringe and measurement cup


Finally, the instruments to use the above mentioned medicine as complement.
