Mefprex

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.

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.

No. Mefprex Syrup cannot be given to everyone in the same dose. The doctor decides the appropriate dose of Mefprex Syrup 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.

You may be required to give Mefprex Syrup 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.

Mefprex 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.

Mefprex Syrup should be stored at room temperature, in a dry place, away from direct heat and light. Also, keep all medicines out of the reach and sight of children to avoid any accidental intake.

Mefprex Syrup can interfere with blood clotting processes which are already impaired in dengue, and hence, the use of Mefprex Syrup can result in excessive bleeding. Do not use Mefprex Syrup for COVID-19 as well because the safety of painkillers and antipyretics except paracetamol has not yet been established.

Withhold Mefprex Syrup 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.

Mefprex Syrup can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Mefprex Syrup. Also, check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
