Cetal Paracetamol 250 Mg Suspension 60 ml

Description:

Cetal Paracetamol 250 mg Suspension 60 ml is an oral liquid medicine containing paracetamol (acetaminophen), a widely used non-narcotic analgesic and antipyretic. It is formulated as a suspension to provide accurate, easy dosing, especially suitable for children and adults who prefer liquids over tablets. Paracetamol works centrally in the brain to relieve mild to moderate pain and reduce fever, making this product ideal for managing common conditions such as headache, toothache, musculoskeletal pain, and febrile illnesses like colds and flu. This product belongs to the Health & Wellness category of medicines for pain and fever relief.

Indications:

• Relief of mild to moderate pain, such as headache, toothache, sore throat, and musculoskeletal pain.
• Reduction of fever associated with common colds, flu, and other infections.
• Adjunctive treatment to relieve pain and fever in conditions like acute gout and migraine, as directed by a physician.
• Symptomatic relief of discomfort and high temperature following vaccinations, as advised by a healthcare professional.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Paracetamol (acetaminophen) – 250 mg per dose unit (exact dose per ml or per 5 ml is not specified in the available information (For full ingredient information, please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.)).
• Other excipients (suspension base, sweeteners, flavoring agents, preservatives) – detailed composition and concentrations , please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use exactly as directed by your doctor or according to the instructions on the product packaging.
• Shake the bottle well before each use to ensure uniform suspension.
• Measure the dose carefully using a medicine spoon, oral syringe, or dosing cup supplied with or recommended for the product.
• Typical dosing of paracetamol is based on age and body weight; do not exceed the maximum daily dose recommended by your healthcare provider or the package insert.
• Can usually be taken with or without food. If stomach upset occurs, taking it with food or milk may help.
• Maintain at least 4–6 hours between doses; do not give more than the recommended number of doses in 24 hours (commonly not more than 4 doses per day, depending on strength and age, as per label or physician guidance).
• Do not use for more than 3 days for fever or 5 days for pain without medical advice.
• If a dose is missed, give it as soon as you remember, but skip it if it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides effective relief from mild to moderate pain by raising the pain threshold at the central nervous system level.
• Reduces fever by acting directly on the thermoregulatory center in the hypothalamus and blocking the effects of endogenous pyrogens.
• Gentler on the stomach compared with many non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), as it is a poor inhibitor of peripheral prostaglandin synthesis.
• Convenient suspension form supports accurate dosing and easier administration, especially for children and adults who have difficulty swallowing tablets.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Do not use if you are allergic to paracetamol (acetaminophen) or any of the excipients in the suspension.
• Do not exceed the recommended dose; overdose of paracetamol can cause serious liver damage, which may be life-threatening.
• Use with extreme caution in patients with liver disease, hepatic impairment, chronic alcohol use, or severe kidney impairment; consult a doctor before use.
• Chronic excessive ingestion of alcohol potentiates the hepatotoxicity of paracetamol; avoid alcohol while taking this medicine.
• Concomitant use with other paracetamol-containing products increases the risk of overdose; check all medications to avoid duplication.
• Drug interactions: cholestyramine may reduce the absorption of paracetamol; activated charcoal given immediately may reduce its absorption; domperidone and metoclopramide may enhance the absorption of paracetamol.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant or breastfeeding; use only if clearly needed and under medical supervision.
• Consult your doctor before use if you have liver disease, kidney disease, chronic malnutrition, dehydration, or are taking other medications such as anticoagulants, antiepileptics, or enzyme-inducing drugs.
• Discontinue use and seek medical advice if pain or fever persists, worsens, or is accompanied by other serious symptoms.
• Keep out of reach of children. Accidental overdose requires immediate medical attention, even if there are no symptoms.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease beyond its approved indications.

Side Effects:

• Generally well tolerated at recommended doses.
• Possible side effects include nausea, vomiting, stomach discomfort, or mild allergic reactions such as skin rash or itching.
