Metosy P Syrup is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to reduce pain, fever, and inflammation in infants and children. Metosy P Syrup contains two active ingredients, Mefenamic acid and paracetamol, which are NSAIDs. It is used to reduce pain and fever in children and infants. Adhere to the prescribed dose, time, and way while giving Metosy P Syrup to your child. Give it orally, preferably at a fixed time. It can be given before or after food, but giving it after food helps prevent the chance of developing an upset stomach.

How much Metosy P Syrup should I give to my child?
Your doctor will prescribe the dose according to your child's condition and body weight. Stick to the prescribed dosing schedule as this is the safest way to ensure their safe recovery.
Can I change the dose of Metosy P Syrup for my child by myself according to the severity of illness?
No, it is not recommended to alter the dose of the medicine without consulting a doctor. While an unnecessary increase in dose may lead to toxicity, a sudden lowering of the dosing may cause recurrence of symptoms. Therefore, speak to your child’s doctor if you feel a change in dose may be needed.
Can all children be given the same dose of Metosy P Syrup?
No. Metosy P Syrup cannot be given to everyone in the same dose. The doctor decides the appropriate dose based on the child’s age and body weight. Since the dose changes so unpredictably, you must never give any dose of this medicine to anyone without consulting a doctor. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully to get the most benefit.
When will my child feel better?
The doctor may advise you to keep giving Metosy P Syrup to your child for a few days to weeks, depending upon the severity of the illness. You’ll notice that the pain or fever will reduce and your child will start feeling better gradually as the course approaches its end. In case your child continues to feel unwell even after completion of the full prescribed course of the medicine, consult your child’s doctor as soon as possible.
Are there any serious side effects of this medicine for my child?
Metosy P Syrup is well-tolerated by most children. However, if your child experiences any intolerable episodes like persistent vomiting, body swelling, decreased urine frequency, a severe allergic reaction, or severe pain due to gastric ulcers, then rush to your doctor on an immediate basis.
