Q. What are the side effects of Arlan use in infants?
Use of Arlan in infants (children < 1 year of age) may commonly cause diarrhea, constipation, stomach upset, and flatulence. It may make infants irritable and inconsolable and difficult to sleep. Long-term use may cause inflammation of the pancreas, irritable colon, stool discoloration, growth of fungus in food pipe, stomatitis, abdominal swelling, mucosal atrophy of the tongue and decrease absorption of vitamins and minerals. Some may have severe allergic reactions also.

Q. How is Arlan given through the nasogastric tube?
Open the Arlan capsule and empty the granules into a syringe. Mix the contents with apple juice in the syringe and attach it to the nasogastric (NG) tube and give directly into the stomach. Once given, flush the NG tube with more apple juice to clear the tube.

Take Arlan only at the dose and for duration advised by your doctor

Q. Does Arlan treat irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)?
