Dexamol contains the active ingredient paracetamol at 500 mg and is used to reduce fever and relieve pain in adults and children aged 6 years and older.
This medication is available without a prescription, making it an accessible option for treating common symptoms like fever and mild to moderate pain.
How Dexamol Works
Paracetamol, the active ingredient in Dexamol, helps to reduce fever by acting on the brain’s heat-regulating center. It also relieves pain by blocking the production of certain chemicals in the body that cause pain and inflammation.
This makes Dexamol effective for headaches, muscle aches, toothaches, and other common pains.
Recommended Dosage
It is important to follow the recommended dosage instructions carefully to ensure safety and effectiveness. Taking too much paracetamol can cause serious health risks.
- Adults and Children Aged 12 and Over:
- Take 1-2 capsules every 4-6 hours as needed.
- Do not exceed eight capsules in one day.
- Children Aged 6-9 Years:
- Take half a capsule every 4-6 hours as needed.
- Do not exceed three capsules in one day (1.5 grams per day).
- Children Aged 9-12 Years:
- Take 1.5 capsules every 4-6 hours as needed.
- Do not exceed four capsules in one day (2 grams daily).
Important Notes
Please do not give capsules to children under 6 years of age. Younger children require special care and different medication forms.
Always avoid exceeding the recommended dose to prevent liver damage or other serious health complications.
When to Consult a Doctor
If the fever lasts more than three days or the symptoms do not improve within five days of use, it is important to consult a healthcare professional. Persistent symptoms may indicate a more serious condition that requires medical attention.
Seek immediate medical advice if you experience any unusual side effects or allergic reactions after taking Dexamol.
