FAQs

How much Mflocid P Oral Suspension should I give to my child?

Can I increase or decrease the dose of Mflocid P Oral Suspension for my child by myself according to the severity of illness?

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.

Can all children be given the same dose of Mflocid P Oral Suspension?

No. Mflocid P Oral Suspension cannot be given to everyone in the same dose. The doctor decides the appropriate dose of Mflocid P Oral 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.

When will my child feel better?

You may be required to give Mflocid P Oral 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.

Are there any serious side effects of this medicine for my child?

Mflocid P Oral 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.

Can I give Mflocid P Oral Suspension to my child for fever associated with dengue or COVID-19?

My child is having a toothache and is taking Mflocid P Oral Suspension for the same. Now he has to undergo an extraction procedure. Should I continue giving Mflocid P Oral Suspension?

Withhold Mflocid P Oral 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.
