Your child’s medicine at a glance
Adhere to the prescribed dose, time, and way while giving Mefkind-P Suspension to your child. Give it orally before or after food, preferably at a fixed time. However, prefer giving it after meals as this will prevent the chance of developing an upset stomach. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of taking this medicine, give the same dose again. Avoid giving more than the recommended dose for fast relief as that may cause unwanted effects in your child.
Your child may exhibit side effects like nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, heartburn, and diarrhea after taking this medicine. These side effects are temporary and are likely to subside once your child’s body adapts to the medicine. In case they persist or become bothersome for your child, do consult your child’s doctor on a priority basis.
Before administering Mefkind-P Suspension to your child, do inform the doctor if your child is allergic to any medicine or products, or has a history of any heart problems, birth defects, liver disease, kidney disease, lung disease, or bleeding disorder. This information is critical for dose alteration and helps in planning your child's overall treatment.

No, it is not recommended to alter the dose of the medicine without consulting a doctor. While increasing the dose without proper judgment may lead to toxicity, decreasing it may cause recurrence of symptoms. So, for best results, speak to your child’s doctor if you feel a change in dose may be needed.
No. Mefkind-P Suspension cannot be given to everyone in the same dose. The doctor decides the appropriate dose of Mefkind-P Suspension based on the child’s age and body weight. The dose will even change for your child when he/she becomes older. Since the dose changes so unpredictably, you must never give any dose of this medicine to anyone without consulting a doctor. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully to get the most benefit.
You may be required to give Mefkind-P Suspension to your child for a few days to weeks, depending upon the severity of the infection. Keep giving this medicine to your child in the dose and frequency advised by the doctor and you’ll notice that the pain or fever will reduce and your child will start feeling better. However, if your child continues to feel unwell even after completion of the full prescribed course of the medicine, consult your child’s doctor as soon as possible.
Mefkind-P Suspension is well-tolerated by most children. However, if your child experiences any intolerable episodes like persistent vomiting, body swelling, decreased urine frequency, serious allergic reaction, and severe pain due to gastric ulcers, then rush to your doctor on an immediate basis.
Mefkind-P Suspension should be stored at room temperature, in a dry place, away from direct heat and light. Also, keep all medicines out of the reach and sight of children to avoid any accidental intake.
Mefkind-P Suspension can interfere with blood clotting processes which are already impaired in dengue, and hence, the use of Mefkind-P Suspension can result in excessive bleeding. Do not use Mefkind-P Suspension for COVID-19 as well because the safety of painkillers and antipyretics except paracetamol has not yet been established.
Withhold Mefkind-P Suspension for at least 3 to 5 days prior to a surgical procedure to prevent excessive bleeding. In case of any confusion, do not hesitate to reach out to your child’s doctor.
Mefkind-P Suspension can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Mefkind-P Suspension. Also, check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
