Frequently asked questions
How much Paramol MF Syrup should I give to my child?
Your doctor will prescribe the dose according to your child's condition and body weight. Stick to the prescribed dosing schedule as this is the safest way to ensure safe and complete recovery of your child.
Can I change the dose of Paramol MF Syrup for my child by myself according to the severity of illness?
No, it is not recommended to alter the dose of the medicine without consulting a doctor.

Therefore, for best results, speak to your child's doctor if you feel a change in dose may be needed.
Can all children be given the same dose of Paramol MF Syrup?
No. Paramol MF Syrup cannot be given to everyone in the same dose. The doctor decides the appropriate dose based on the child's age and body weight. Since the dose changes so unpredictably, you must never give any dose of this medicine to anyone without consulting a doctor. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully to get the most benefit.
When will my child feel better?
The doctor may advise you to keep giving Paramol MF Syrup to your child for a few days to weeks, depending on the severity of the illness. You’ll notice that the pain or fever will reduce and your child will start feeling better gradually as the course approaches its end. 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?
Paramol MF Syrup is well-tolerated by most children. However, if your child experiences any intolerable episodes like persistent vomiting, body swelling, decreased urine frequency, serious allergic reaction, and severe pain due to gastric ulcers, then rush to your doctor on an immediate basis.
