Give Fagmol Oral Suspension to your child with food or milk to prevent an upset stomach. Your child should not take more than four doses of this medicine in 24 hours, so wait up to 6 hours between doses. Never give any other medicine formulation containing paracetamol along with this medicine as that may lead to serious side effects. Inform the doctor if your child has liver disease as the dose may need to be adjusted. If Fagmol Oral Suspension does not seem to be helping your child, contact your doctor for advice. Do not give extra doses.
Fagmol Oral Suspension possesses analgesic (pain-reliever) and antipyretic (lowers body temperature) properties. It provides relief by blocking certain chemical messengers and pathways in the brain that send signals about pain and fever.

Always follow your doctor's instructions regarding dosage. This depends on the strength of the medicine and the age of your child. You may also consult the product label or leaflet for specific dosage directions before use. The commonly recommended dose is 10-15 mg/kg per dose every 4 to 6 hours.
Fagmol Oral Suspension generally starts working within 30 to 60 minutes of administration, and its peak effect is usually seen in 3 to 4 hours. Your child may start feeling better with a few doses. If the pain or fever persists longer, please consult your child's doctor immediately.
This medicine can be given if your child has a temperature of 38.3°C (101°F) or higher, but you must always consult with your child’s doctor first.
If the fever doesn't come down after the initial few doses, it might indicate an underlying infection (virus or bacteria). It's advised to consult your child’s doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
You should only take four doses of Fagmol Oral Suspension in 24 hours. Ensure there's at least a 4-6 hour gap between two doses. Do not exceed taking it for more than 3 days without consulting your doctor first. Exceeding recommended dose (more than 250 mg/kg) can lead to toxicity and potentially be fatal. An overdose can cause serious liver and kidney damage. If you suspect an overdose, notify your doctor immediately, even if your child seems okay.
Unless instructed by your doctor, your child should take a normal balanced diet during this medication. Inadequate nutrition can potentially increase the risk of developing medicinal toxicity.

This medication should be used with caution if the child has malnutrition, G6PD deficiency, liver disease, or any known allergies to medication. It's important to inform your doctor about your child’s complete medical history for a safe medication decision.
Usually, this medicine doesn’t interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause any adverse reactions in children after vaccination. However, it's best to let your child recover from illness and complete the medication course. Once feeling better, you can administer the vaccine.
