About P 250 Suspension
P 250 Suspension is a pediatric medicine commonly prescribed for reducing fever and easing mild to moderate pain in children. Pain can either be temporary, such as that caused by an injury, or long-lasting, as seen in certain chronic conditions. This medicine helps manage discomfort like toothache, muscle aches, or general body pain and also brings down high body temperature in children. Fever is often accompanied by shivering, tiredness, and sometimes confusion, and this formulation helps in providing relief.

What it Contains and How it Works
The suspension contains Paracetamol, an agent known for its pain-relieving and fever-reducing properties. It acts by blocking specific natural chemicals in the body (prostaglandins) that trigger pain and raise body temperature. By doing this, it helps regulate heat through sweating and resets the body’s temperature control center in the brain.

Possible Side Effects
Most children tolerate P 250 Suspension well, though a few may experience mild effects such as nausea, indigestion, stomach pain, loose stools, or cold-like symptoms. These usually settle on their own, but if they continue or get worse, medical advice is needed.

When to Give and How to Use
The suspension should be given exactly as instructed by the pediatrician. It can be taken with food or on an empty stomach. Use the provided dropper, cup, or syringe to measure the exact dose. Always shake the bottle before giving the medicine. Never exceed the prescribed amount, and do not stop or change the dosage without consulting the doctor.

Benefits for Children
P 250 Suspension provides quick relief from fever by lowering the body’s raised temperature. It also helps manage headaches, toothaches, muscle pain, and general discomfort often linked with flu or infections. By easing these symptoms, it improves the child’s comfort and recovery process.

Storage Instructions
Keep the suspension in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Store it below 30°C, preferably between 10°C to 25°C. Ensure it is out of reach of children.

Precautions and Safety
This medicine is specifically meant for children, including infants below two years of age. It should not be given to adults. Avoid use if the child has an allergy to paracetamol or if there are existing liver or kidney conditions unless advised by a doctor. Always inform your pediatrician about the child’s health history and any other medicines being taken.

Overdose Information
Taking more than the recommended dose can be harmful. Symptoms of overdose may include nausea, yellowing of skin or eyes, confusion, low blood sugar, reduced urine, or signs of liver and kidney damage. If you suspect an overdose, seek immediate medical help even if the child seems fine.

General Health Advice
Encourage the child to rest well and sleep adequately to support faster recovery. Provide plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration. Keeping stress low and maintaining a healthy routine also strengthens immunity and reduces the risk of illness.
