Dolopar 250 Suspension

Overview of Dolopar 250 Suspension for Children

Dolopar 250 Suspension is a medication used to reduce fever and relieve mild to moderate pain in children. It is commonly given for conditions such as headaches, toothaches, muscle pain, fever, or discomfort caused by the common cold.

This medicine is given orally and works best when taken at the same time each day. Although it can be given with or without meals, it is preferable to administer it after food to prevent irritation of the stomach lining. The exact dose depends on factors such as the child’s age, weight, and the severity of symptoms. If your child vomits within half an hour of taking a dose, you can repeat it. However, if the child develops an allergic reaction soon after taking it, do not redose and seek medical advice immediately.

Avoid giving Dolopar 250 Suspension alongside other medicines that contain paracetamol, such as certain cold and flu syrups or pain relievers, as this can lead to an overdose, which may cause serious liver problems. Always check medication labels carefully before combining treatments.

This medicine is usually well-tolerated by children. In some cases, temporary side effects like nausea, vomiting, indigestion, or mild stomach discomfort may occur. If these symptoms persist or worsen, consult a doctor for guidance.

Before starting this medicine, inform your doctor if your child has any ongoing health issues, such as liver or kidney disorders, blood-related problems, allergies, or congenital conditions. This helps the doctor determine whether the medicine is safe and to adjust the dosage if necessary.

Primary Uses of Dolopar 250 Suspension in Children

• Reduces fever
• Relieves pain, including headaches, muscle pain, toothaches, and general body aches

Benefits for Your Child
Dolopar 250 Suspension helps ease pain by blocking certain chemicals in the brain that trigger discomfort. It is commonly used for headaches, sore throat, nerve pain, arthritis-related discomfort, and fever. When taken at the correct dose and for the appropriate duration, it is considered very safe. Always use the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible time.

Possible Side Effects
While side effects are uncommon, some children may experience:

• Stomach discomfort or pain
• Nausea or vomiting
• Indigestion

These effects are usually temporary and improve as the child’s body adjusts to the medication. Seek medical attention if they become severe or persistent.

How to Give Dolopar 250 Suspension
Always follow the dosage instructions given by your child’s doctor. Shake the bottle well before use and measure the dose accurately using the provided measuring cup or syringe. Administer the medicine by mouth, preferably after meals, and try to give it at the same time every day.

How It Works
Dolopar 250 Suspension contains paracetamol, which reduces fever and pain by blocking certain natural substances in the body (prostaglandins) that cause discomfort and high temperature.

Precautions for Use

• Children with kidney issues should use this medicine cautiously, and the dosage may need to be adjusted by a doctor.
• In cases of liver problems, the medicine should be given carefully, and it is not recommended for children with severe liver disease.

If a Dose Is Missed
If you forget to give a dose, administer it as soon as you remember. If it’s nearly time for the next dose, skip the missed one. Do not give two doses at the same time.
