How to use Lefin plus suspension 250 mg?
- Dosing depends on the child's weight, typically 10 to 15mg per kg of body weight every 4 to 6 hours.
- The measuring cup or oral syringe included in the pack ensures an accurate dose.
- Shaking the bottle well before each use keeps the suspension evenly mixed.
- No more than 4 doses should be given within 24 hours unless a doctor advises otherwise.
Drug Interactions
- Warfarin: Regular high dose use can enhance the blood thinning effect and raise bleeding risk.
- Other paracetamol containing products: Combining with cold, flu or pain syrups raises the risk of accidental overdose.
- Alcohol: In adults, regular alcohol use alongside paracetamol adds extra strain on the liver.
Risks and warnings
- Overdose risk: Giving more than the recommended dose can cause serious liver damage, especially in young children.
- Combination products: Many cold and flu syrups already contain paracetamol, so checking labels avoids accidental double dosing.
- Liver disease: Children or adults with existing liver conditions need a doctor's guidance before use.
- Fasting or dehydration: Malnourished or dehydrated children carry a higher risk of liver toxicity at standard doses.
