Are there any specific contraindications associated with the use of Meflice-Plus Oral Suspension?
The use of Meflice-Plus Oral Suspension is contraindicated in patients with a known allergy to any of its components or excipients, or in patients with a known allergy to other painkillers (NSAIDs). It's also recommended to avoid this medication in patients with a history of stomach ulcers, active or recurrent stomach ulcers/bleeding, liver disease, or kidney disease.
Can I take Meflice-Plus Oral Suspension with Vitamin B-complex?
Yes, Meflice-Plus Oral Suspension can be taken with Vitamin B-complex preparations. While Meflice-Plus Oral Suspension helps relieve pain, Vitamin B-complex can help correct vitamin deficiencies that may be causing the underlying painful condition.
Can the use of Meflice-Plus Oral Suspension cause damage to kidneys?
Yes, the long-term use of Meflice-Plus Oral Suspension can cause damage to the kidneys. Normal kidneys produce prostaglandins that protect the kidneys from damage.

Is it safe to take a higher than the recommended dose of Meflice-Plus Oral Suspension?
No, taking a higher than the recommended dose of Meflice-Plus Oral Suspension can increase the risk of side effects such as nausea, vomiting, heartburn, indigestion, diarrhea, and can also cause kidney damage on long-term use. If you're experiencing increased severity of pain or the pain is not relieved by the recommended doses, consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
What are the storage conditions for Meflice-Plus Oral Suspension?
Keep this medicine in its original container, tightly closed. Store it according to the instructions on the pack or label. Dispose of unused medication. Ensure it is not consumed by pets, children, or other people.
