Are there specific contraindications associated with using Mezopar DS Syrup?
Mezopar DS Syrup may not be suitable for patients with known allergies to any of its components (ingredients). It's also important to avoid this medication if you have a history of stomach ulcers or active, recurring stomach ulcers/bleeding. Patients with pre-existing liver or kidney disease should consult their doctor before using Mezopar DS Syrup.
Can I take Mezopar DS Syrup along with Vitamin B-complex?

If you're experiencing increased pain severity or the pain is not relieved by the prescribed dose, it's essential to consult your doctor for a re-evaluation.
