Oral Suspension
Fevelast Oral Suspension is a widely prescribed medicine that helps to ease pain and bring down high body temperature (fever). In children, it treats conditions like headache, toothache, body ache, fever, and common cold.
Give Fevelast 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 Fevelast Oral Suspension does not seem to be helping your child, contact your doctor for advice. Do not give extra doses.
Fevelast 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 the dosage and frequency of administration. The commonly recommended dose is 10-15 mg/kg per dose every 4 to 6 hours. If you are unsure about the dosage, consult your child's doctor.
Fevelast Oral Suspension usually starts working within 30 to 60 minutes of intake and shows its peak effect within 3 to 4 hours. Your child may start to feel better after a few doses. If the pain or fever persists longer, consult your child's doctor immediately.
If your child vomits within 30 minutes of taking Fevelast Oral Suspension, repeat the dose again. If it has been more than 30 minutes after taking Fevelast Oral Suspension and your child vomits, do not repeat the dose and wait until it is time for the next dose. If you are unsure, consult your doctor.
You can give this medicine if your child has a temperature of 38.3°C (101°F) or higher. However, it is always best to consult your child's doctor first.
If the fever doesn't come down after the initial few doses, the cause might be an infection (virus or bacteria). It is advised to consult your child's doctor for specific treatment.
You should only take four doses of Fevelast Oral Suspension in 24 hours. There should be a gap of at least 4-6 hours between two doses. Do not take it for more than 3 days without first talking to your doctor. Based on the dose, more than 250 mg/kg can lead to toxicity and can be potentially fatal. An overdose is capable of causing serious damage to the liver and kidneys. Inform your doctor immediately if you think you have given too much of this medicine to your child, even if your child seems well, because of the risk of delayed, serious liver damage.
Unless instructed by your doctor, your child should take a normal balanced diet while continuing this medicine, as lack of nutrition can put your child at risk of developing medicinal toxicity.
Keep this medicine at room temperature in a dry place beyond the reach of children.
It is advised to use Fevelast Oral Suspension with caution if the child has malnutrition, G6PD deficiency, liver disease, or any medicinal allergy. Share your child's complete medical history with the doctor to ensure the medicine is safe for your child.
