Nobel Plus Susp

Nobel-Plus Suspension

Nobel-Plus Suspension is a widely used medication manufactured by Mankind Pharma Ltd., primarily for children to alleviate fever and pain.

• Composition: Nobel-Plus Suspension contains a combination of two active ingredients: Mefenamic Acid (50mg/5ml) and Paracetamol (125mg/5ml). Both are classified as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and antipyretics. Mefenamic acid works by blocking chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that cause pain and inflammation, while Paracetamol reduces fever by acting on the brain's heat-regulating center and inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis.

• Uses: This suspension is prescribed for the treatment of mild to moderate pain and fever in children. It is effective for various conditions including headaches, dental pain, muscle aches, joint pain, period (menstrual) pains, and reducing high temperatures associated with infections. It may also be used for post-surgical pain relief.

• Dosage and Administration: The dosage should be administered as per age and weight recommendations and must not exceed the prescribed limit. It is taken orally, preferably at a consistent time, and can be given with or after food to minimize stomach upset. Shake the bottle well before use and measure the dose accurately. If a dose is missed, give it as soon as remembered, but skip it if the next dose is almost due. Do not double doses.

• Side Effects: Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, heartburn, diarrhea, and dizziness. These are usually temporary. Serious side effects are rare but may include allergic reactions like skin rashes or difficulty breathing.

• Precautions: Inform the doctor about any allergies or pre-existing medical conditions such as heart problems, birth defects, liver disease, kidney disease, lung disease, or bleeding disorders. It should be used with caution in patients with kidney or liver disease, and pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a doctor. Avoid consuming alcohol with this medication as it can worsen side effects and increase the risk of liver injury and stomach bleeding. Nobel-Plus Suspension is not recommended for children under six months of age.

• Storage: Store Nobel-Plus Suspension in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight, and below 30°C. Keep the bottle tightly closed and out of the sight and reach of children.
