  Hi! Annie i'm no expert but you can just probably take some antacids to relieve from stomach ache, it's a reaction probably from Asunra. How long have you been experiencing this? Did you often get stomachache whenever you take medicine(anti-boitic etc.)

hi Annie
My 2 1/2 year old is also on Asunra since oct. As suggested by Andy and others I had started him on a small dose of 50mg and gradually built it up to the reccomended dose of 250mg. Alhumdulillah he did not experience any of the side effects usually associated with Asunra.
take care
maha
