Dosage Form
Syrup
Introduction
Adhere to the prescribed dose, time, and way while giving Par M Syrup to your child. Give it orally, preferably at a fixed time. It can be given before or after food, but giving it after food helps prevent the chance of developing an upset stomach. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of taking this medicine, give the same dose again. Avoid giving more than the recommended dose for fast relief as that may cause unwanted effects in your child. Some children develop certain mild side effects like nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, heartburn, and diarrhea after taking this medicine. In case your child develops these side effects, do not worry as these are mostly temporary and resolve on their own. But, if these effects persist or become bothersome for your child, do consult your child’s doctor on a priority basis. Before giving Par M Syrup to your child, do inform the doctor if your child is allergic to any medicine or products or has a history of any heart problems, birth defects, liver disease, kidney disease, lung disease, or bleeding disorder. This information is critical for dose alteration and helps in planning your child's overall treatment.

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Measure it with a measuring cup and take it by mouth. Shake well before use. Par M Syrup may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.

How it works
Par M Syrup contains Mefenamic acid and paracetamol as its active ingredients. Both these ingredients are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Par M Syrup works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause fever, pain, and inflammation (redness and swelling).
Quick Tips
Par M Syrup is used to reduce pain as well as fever in children and infants. Do not take it with any other medicine containing paracetamol (drugs for pain/fever or cough-and-cold) without asking your doctor first. Maintain a log of your child’s temperature. If you do not see any improvement, contact your child’s doctor for advice. Keep a track of the dose and the frequency in which you have given this medicine to your child. This will help prevent overdosing. Practice self-care tips like giving plenty of fluids to your child to ensure proper body hydration, giving your child a balanced diet, and encouraging your child to have optimum sleep since sick children get tired soon and getting plenty of rest helps them recover faster. Stop the medicine and consult your child’s doctor in case your child exhibits allergic rash or stomach pain soon after taking this medicine.

Can I change the dose of Par M Syrup for my child by myself according to the severity of illness?

When will my child feel better?
The doctor may advise you to keep giving Par M Syrup to your child for a few days to weeks, depending upon the severity of the illness.

In case your child continues to feel unwell even after completion of the full prescribed course of the medicine, consult your child's doctor as soon as possible.
Are there any serious side effects of this medicine for my child?
