Frequently asked questions
How much Meftal-P Suspension should I give to my child?
Your doctor will prescribe the dose according to your child's condition and body weight. Always follow the prescribed dosing schedule as this is the safest way to ensure complete recovery.
Can I increase or decrease the dose of Meftal-P Suspension for my child by myself based on the severity of illness?
No, it's not recommended to alter the dosage without consulting a doctor. While increasing the dose might seem like the solution, this could lead to toxicity, and decreasing it may cause symptoms to return. Please speak to your child's doctor if you feel there's any need to change the dose.
Can all children be given the same dose of Meftal-P Suspension?
No. The dosage of Meftal-P Suspension is not the same for everyone. Your child's doctor will decide the appropriate dose based on their age and body weight. This may change as your child grows. Always follow your doctor's instructions and never give any dose of this medicine to anyone without consulting them.
When will my child feel better?
It may take a few days to weeks for your child to get better. Keep giving the prescribed Meftal-P Suspension dosage and frequency as directed by your doctor, and you should notice their pain or fever diminishing. However, if they continue to feel unwell after the full course of medicine is finished, seek immediate medical attention from your doctor.
Are there any serious side effects of this medicine for my child?
Meftal-P Suspension is generally well-tolerated. However, you must report any severe or unusual symptoms like persistent vomiting, swelling in the body, decreased urine frequency, a severe allergic reaction, and/or severe stomach pain to your doctor immediately.
How should Meftal-P Suspension be stored?
Meftal-P Suspension should be kept at room temperature in a dry place away from direct heat or sunlight. Also, ensure all medications are out of reach and sight of children to prevent accidental ingestion.
Can I give Meftal-P Suspension to my child for fever associated with dengue or COVID-19?
Meftal-P Suspension can interfere with blood clotting processes, which are already impaired in dengue. So using this medicine could result in excessive bleeding. The safety of painkillers and antipyretics except paracetamol has not been established for treating COVID-19.
My child is having a toothache and is taking Meftal-P Suspension. Now he has to undergo an extraction procedure. Should I continue giving Meftal-P Suspension?
Before surgery, delay giving Meftal-P Suspension for at least 3 to 5 days to prevent excessive bleeding. If you have any questions, consult your child's doctor.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Meftal-P Suspension?
Meftal-P Suspension can interact with other medications or substances. Tell your doctor about all medications your child is taking before starting Meftal-P Suspension, and confirm any medication changes with a doctor before giving them to your child.
