FAQs
How much Mefast P Suspension 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 that is the best way to ensure safe and complete recovery of your child.
Can I change the dose of Mefast P Suspension 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. While an unnecessary increase in dose may lead to toxicity, a sudden lowering of the dosing may cause recurrence of symptoms. So, 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 Mefast P Suspension?
No. Mefast P Suspension 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 Mefast P Suspension to your child for a few days to weeks, depending upon 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?
Mefast P Suspension 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.
How should I store Mefast P Suspension?
Store Mefast P Suspension at room temperature, in a dry place, away from direct heat and light. Avoid leaving medicines within the reach and sight of children.
My child is taking Mefast P Suspension for toothache and now has to undergo an extraction procedure. Should I continue giving Mefast P Suspension?
Withhold Mefast P Suspension from at least 3 to 5 days before a surgical procedure to prevent excessive bleeding. In case of any confusion, it is best to reach out to your child’s doctor.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Mefast P Suspension?
Mefast P Suspension can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Mefast P Suspension. Also, check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
