The use of Godimol-MF Oral Suspension is considered harmful for patients with a known allergy to any of its components or excipients, or in patients with a known allergy to other painkillers (NSAIDs). It should be avoided in patients with a history of stomach ulcer or in patients with active, recurrent stomach ulcer/bleeding. It is also recommended to avoid it in patients with a history of liver or kidney disease.
Can I take Godimol-MF Oral Suspension with vitamin B-complex?
Yes, Godimol-MF Oral Suspension can be taken with Vitamin B-complex preparations. While Godimol-MF Oral Suspension helps relieve pain, Vitamin B-complex can help correct the vitamin deficiency that might be causing the underlying painful condition.
