Quick tips

Mefture P 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:
