About Fevadol Suspension 160mg/5ml

Fevadol Suspension 160mg/5ml Uses

• Fever caused by infections, teething, or vaccination in children
• Mild to moderate pain, including headache, sore throat, and body aches
• Toothache and pain after minor dental procedures
• Discomfort during cold and flu symptoms
• Pain relief after minor injuries or bruises in children

Drug Class

• Paracetamol belongs to the analgesic and antipyretic drug class, meaning it works as both a pain reliever and a fever reducer.

What Experts Say

Paracetamol suspension is one of the most trusted fever and pain medicines for children across Pakistani households. Pediatricians commonly recommend it as a first line option because of its strong safety record when the correct weight based dose is followed.

The active ingredient works by acting on the brain's temperature control center and blocking pain signals, unlike NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, which can irritate the stomach lining. This mechanism makes Paracetamol a safer choice for children with asthma, dehydration, or a sensitive stomach, and it remains one of the few fever medicines considered suitable for infants when dosed correctly.

Medical experts consistently stress that overdose, not underdose, is the real danger with Paracetamol suspension. Caregivers are advised to always measure doses with the syringe or cup provided, avoid combining it with other cold and flu products containing Paracetamol, and consult a doctor if fever continues beyond three days despite regular dosing.

How to use Fevadol Suspension 160mg/5ml?

• The measuring cup or oral syringe included in the pack should be used to give this suspension by mouth.
• The usual pediatric dose is 10 mg to 15 mg per kg of body weight, repeated every 4 to 6 hours.
• No more than 4 doses in 24 hours should be given unless your child's doctor advises otherwise.
• The bottle needs a good shake before every use.
• This suspension can be given before or after food, whichever suits your child's stomach better.
• A regular kitchen spoon should be avoided since it can give the wrong dose. The marked cup or syringe is more accurate.

Drug Interactions

• Warfarin: Regular use of Paracetamol can increase the blood thinning effect of warfarin, so blood tests may need closer monitoring.
• Other Paracetamol Containing Medicines: A combination of this suspension with other fever or cold syrups containing Paracetamol raises the risk of overdose.
• Teen or Adult Alcohol Use: Alcohol use along with Paracetamol raises the risk of liver damage, which matters for older children and teens.
• Anti Seizure Medicines: Drugs like phenytoin or carbamazepine can reduce how well Paracetamol works and raise the risk of liver strain.
• Cholestyramine: This cholesterol lowering medicine can reduce how well the body absorbs Paracetamol when taken at the same time.

Risks and warnings

• Liver Safety: The recommended dose should never be exceeded. High doses of Paracetamol can harm the liver, especially in children who are underweight or dehydrated.
• Existing Liver Disease: Caution is needed in children with liver problems, and a doctor should be consulted before giving this suspension.
• Other Paracetamol Products: This suspension should not be combined with any other cough, cold, or fever medicine that also contains Paracetamol.

• Fasting or Poor Diet: Children who are not eating well or are dehydrated may be more sensitive to Paracetamol's effect on the liver.
• Persistent Fever: A doctor's visit is advised if fever lasts more than 3 days or pain lasts more than 5 days despite using this suspension.
