What is Nobel Plus Suspension used for?

How does Nobel Plus Suspension work?

Nobel Plus Suspension is a combination medicine containing Mefenamic acid and Paracetamol. Mefenamic acid is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by blocking the action of certain chemical messengers called prostaglandins, which are responsible for causing pain and inflammation. Paracetamol acts on the brain's heat-regulating center (hypothalamus), promoting heat loss through sweating and inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis to reduce fever and pain.

What is the usual dosage of Nobel Plus Suspension?

The dosage of Nobel Plus Suspension is determined by a pediatrician based on the child's age, body weight, and the severity of the condition. It is typically given 2-3 times a day, with or without food, to prevent stomach upset. It is crucial to shake the bottle well before each use and use a measuring cup, syringe, or dropper provided to ensure accurate dosing. Do not use regular household spoons. This medicine is intended for pediatric use and is generally not recommended for children under six months of age.

What are the possible side effects of Nobel Plus Suspension?

Common side effects may include abdominal pain, cold-like nose symptoms, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, indigestion, flatulence, anorexia, dry mouth, heartburn, and skin rash. These usually do not require medical attention and resolve over time. However, if any side effects persist or worsen, it is important to consult a pediatrician. More serious but rare side effects can include allergic reactions, liver injury (such as jaundice), and gastrointestinal bleeding.

Is Nobel Plus Suspension safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Nobel Plus Suspension is generally not recommended for use in pregnant or breastfeeding women. It is contraindicated during pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, as animal studies have shown harmful effects on the developing baby. For breastfeeding mothers, it may pass into breast milk, and its effects on the infant are unknown. It is crucial to consult a doctor to weigh the potential risks and benefits before use in these situations.

Can Nobel Plus Suspension be taken with other medications?

Avoid alcohol consumption while taking this medication as it can increase the risk of liver injury and stomach bleeding. Long-term use should be supervised by a healthcare professional. Also, inform your doctor if any surgical procedures are planned, as it may need to be stopped a few days prior to avoid excessive bleeding.

What happens if a dose of Nobel Plus Suspension is missed?
