Mafemol Syrup is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to reduce pain, fever, and inflammation in infants and children. Mafemol Syrup contains two active ingredients, Mefenamic acid and paracetamol, which belong to a common class of medicines known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It helps to lower body temperature (fever) and reduce pain and inflammation (redness and swelling) both in infants and children.
Mafemol Syrup works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause fever, pain, and inflammation (redness and swelling).
What is the recommended dosage of Mafemol Syrup for my child?
Your child's doctor will prescribe a dose based on their age and body weight. It's essential to stick to this dosing schedule to ensure safe and complete recovery.
Can I adjust the dose of Mafemol Syrup for my child without consulting a doctor?
No, it is not recommended to alter the dose without consulting a doctor first. This can lead to unnecessary risks, such as toxicity or recurrence of symptoms.
Is the same dosage of Mafemol Syrup suitable for all children?
No, every child's dose needs to be determined by their age and body weight. Always consult a doctor before giving your child any medication.
When can I expect my child to feel better after taking Mafemol Syrup?
The length of time it takes for your child to feel better will depend on the severity of the illness. Your child's doctor may advise you to continue giving them Mafemol Syrup for a few days or weeks, and you should notice improvements as the course progresses.
What are some potential serious side effects I should be aware of?
Mafemol Syrup is generally well-tolerated, but if your child experiences persistent vomiting, body swelling, decreased urine frequency, severe allergic reaction, or severe pain due to gastric ulcers, seek medical attention immediately.
How should I store Mafemol Syrup?
Keep the syrup at room temperature in a dry place away from direct heat and light. Also, ensure it is out of reach and sight of children.
Should I continue giving my child Mafemol Syrup before an extraction procedure?
It's recommended to withhold Mafemol Syrup for at least 3 to 5 days before a surgical procedure to prevent excessive bleeding. If you're unsure, consult your child's doctor.
Can other medicines be taken with Mafemol Syrup?
Inform your child's doctor about any other medications they are taking before starting Mafemol Syrup. Also, check with their doctor before giving them any additional medication.
Maintain a log of your child's temperature. If you do not see any improvement, contact your child's doctor for advice. Keep a track of the dose and the frequency in which you have given this medicine to your child. This will help prevent overdosing.
- Do not take it with any other medicine containing paracetamol (drugs for pain/fever or cough-and-cold) without asking your doctor first.
- Practice self-care tips like giving plenty of fluids to your child, giving a balanced diet, and encouraging optimum sleep.
- Stop the medicine and consult your child's doctor in case your child exhibits allergic rash or stomach pain soon after taking this medicine.
