M-Long P Oral Suspension
Prescription Required
Your child’s medicine at a glance
M-Long P Oral Suspension is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It helps to lower body temperature (fever) and reduce pain and inflammation (redness and swelling) both in infants and children. It works by blocking the action of a chemical messenger that is known to cause fever, pain, and inflammation.
Adhere to the prescribed dose, time, and way while giving M-Long P Oral Suspension to your child. Give it orally before or after food, preferably at a fixed time. However, prefer giving it after meals as this will 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.
Your child may exhibit side effects like nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, heartburn, and diarrhea after taking this medicine. These side effects are temporary and are likely to subside once your child’s body adapts to the medicine. In case they persist or become bothersome for your child, do consult your child’s doctor on a priority basis.
Before administering M-Long P Oral Suspension 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.

FAQs
How much M-Long P Oral 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 the safe and complete recovery of your child.
Can I increase or decrease the dose of M-Long P Oral 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 increasing the dose without proper judgment may lead to toxicity, decreasing it 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 M-Long P Oral Suspension?
No. M-Long P Oral Suspension cannot be given to everyone in the same dose. The doctor decides the appropriate dose of M-Long P Oral Suspension based on the child’s age and body weight. The dose will even change for your child when he/she becomes older. 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?
You may be required to give M-Long P Oral Suspension to your child for a few days to weeks, depending upon the severity of the infection. Keep giving this medicine to your child in the dose and frequency advised by the doctor and you’ll notice that the pain or fever will reduce and your child will start feeling better. However, if 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?
M-Long P Oral Suspension is well-tolerated by most children.

Can I give M-Long P Oral Suspension to my child for fever associated with dengue or COVID-19?

My child is having a toothache and is taking M-Long P Oral Suspension for the same. Now he has to undergo an extraction procedure. Should I continue giving M-Long P Oral Suspension?
Withhold M-Long P Oral Suspension for at least 3 to 5 days prior to a surgical procedure to prevent excessive bleeding. In case of any confusion, do not hesitate to reach out to your child’s doctor.
