Can Mafacet Syrup cause nausea and vomiting?
Yes, Mafacet Syrup may cause nausea and vomiting. Taking it with milk, food, or antacids can help alleviate nausea. Avoid consuming fatty or fried foods with the medication.

Are there any specific contraindications associated with the use of Mafacet Syrup?
Mafacet Syrup is contraindicated in patients with known allergies to its components or excipients, as well as those with known allergies to other painkillers (NSAIDs). It's also recommended to avoid use in patients with a history of stomach ulcers, liver or kidney disease, or active recurrent stomach ulcers/bleeding.
Can I take Mafacet Syrup with vitamin B-complex?
