If you experience any persistent problems, consult your healthcare provider immediately.
When can I stop using Febrinil M Syrup?
Febrinil M Syrup is typically used for short-term pain relief and can be discontinued when the pain is relieved. However, if you have been advised by your healthcare provider to continue treatment for a specific duration, it should remain in effect until then.
Can Febrinil M Syrup cause nausea and vomiting?
Yes, Febrinil M Syrup can sometimes cause nausea and vomiting. Consuming the medicine with milk, food, or antacids may help to minimize these effects. Avoid taking fatty or fried foods alongside the medication. In case of vomiting, it is advisable to take small sips of water frequently. If you experience persistent vomiting or signs of dehydration (dark urine and reduced urination frequency), consult your doctor immediately.
Can Febrinil M Syrup cause dizziness?
Yes, Febrinil M Syrup can sometimes cause dizziness in some individuals. If you experience dizziness or lightheadedness, it is advisable to rest and resume normal activities when feeling better. Avoid driving or operating machinery until your dizziness subsides.
Are there any specific contraindications for using Febrinil M Syrup?
Avoid using Febrinil M Syrup if you have an allergy to any of its components (active ingredients or excipients) or if you are allergic to other pain relievers (NSAIDs). It is also advisable to avoid using this medication in patients with a history of stomach ulcers or active, recurrent stomach ulcer/bleeding. Additionally, it is important to consult your doctor before use if you have a pre-existing kidney or liver disease.
Can I take Febrinil M Syrup with vitamin B-complex?
Yes, the use of Febrinil M Syrup can be safely combined with vitamin B-complex preparations. While Febrinil M Syrup relieves pain, vitamin B-complex may help correct any underlying vitamin deficiencies that might contribute to the painful condition.
Does Febrinil M Syrup damage the kidneys?
Yes, long-term use of Febrinil M Syrup can potentially lead to kidney damage. Normal kidneys produce prostaglandins that protect the kidneys from damage. Use of painkillers lowers the levels of prostaglandins in the body, which over time leads to increased risk of kidney damage. Avoid unnecessary use of pain relievers in individuals with pre-existing kidney disease.
Is it safe to take more than the recommended dose of Febrinil M Syrup?
No, taking a higher than the recommended dose of Febrinil M Syrup can increase the risk of side effects such as nausea, vomiting, heartburn, indigestion, diarrhea, and may also contribute to kidney damage on long-term use. If you are experiencing increased pain severity or if the pain is not relieved by recommended doses, consult your healthcare provider for re-evaluation.
How should I store Febrinil M Syrup?
