Frequently Asked Questions
FEPANIL 120MG SUSPENSION: Frequently Asked Questions
FEPANIL 120MG SUSPENSION is a medicine primarily used in children for pain relief and fever reduction. Its active ingredient is Paracetamol (also known as Acetaminophen).
What is FEPANIL 120MG SUSPENSION used for?
FEPANIL 120MG SUSPENSION is used to relieve mild to moderate pain and to reduce fever in children. This includes pain associated with headaches, toothaches, body aches, sore throats, teething, and discomfort following vaccinations, as well as symptoms of colds and flu.
How does FEPANIL 120MG SUSPENSION work?
The active ingredient, Paracetamol, works by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers in the brain called prostaglandins. These prostaglandins are responsible for signaling pain and raising body temperature. By blocking them and promoting heat loss through sweating, FEPANIL helps to reduce pain and fever.
What is the usual dosage for FEPANIL 120MG SUSPENSION?
The dosage of FEPANIL 120MG SUSPENSION depends on the child's age and weight. It is crucial to always use the measuring spoon or syringe provided with the pack to ensure an accurate dose. For children aged 2-3 months, a single dose of 2.5ml may be given for post-vaccination fever, or as directed by a doctor. For children aged 3 months and above, doses typically range from 2.5ml to 10ml, given up to 4 times in a 24-hour period. Ensure at least 4 hours between doses. Never exceed 4 doses in any 24-hour period, and do not use for more than 3 days without consulting a doctor.
What are the possible side effects of FEPANIL 120MG SUSPENSION?
FEPANIL 120MG SUSPENSION is generally well-tolerated. However, some children may experience mild side effects such as indigestion, nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain. Rarely, allergic reactions (e.g., skin rash, itching, swelling of the face/mouth/throat, difficulty breathing) or serious skin reactions can occur. Prolonged use or overdose can lead to severe liver and kidney damage. If you notice any unusual or severe side effects, seek medical attention immediately.
Is FEPANIL 120MG SUSPENSION safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
While Paracetamol, the active ingredient, is generally considered safe and is often the first-choice painkiller during pregnancy and breastfeeding at recommended doses, FEPANIL 120MG SUSPENSION is specifically intended for pediatric use. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding and require pain relief, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Can FEPANIL 120MG SUSPENSION be taken with other medications?
It is critical not to give FEPANIL 120MG SUSPENSION with any other medicine that also contains paracetamol, as this can lead to an overdose and severe liver damage. Inform your doctor or pharmacist about all other medications your child is taking, including prescription, over-the-counter medicines, and herbal supplements, as paracetamol can interact with certain drugs like warfarin, barbiturates, some antidepressants, and specific antibiotics.
What precautions should be taken when using FEPANIL 120MG SUSPENSION?
Always shake the bottle well for at least 10 seconds before use and measure the dose accurately using the provided spoon or syringe. Do not exceed the recommended dose or duration of treatment (typically no more than 3 days without medical advice). Exercise caution if your child has pre-existing liver or kidney problems, severe illnesses, or malnutrition, and consult a doctor before administering the medicine.
What happens if a dose of FEPANIL 120MG SUSPENSION is missed?
If you miss a dose, give it as soon as you remember, but ensure there is at least a 4-hour gap before the next scheduled dose. Do not give a double dose to compensate for a missed one.
How should FEPANIL 120MG SUSPENSION be stored?
Store FEPANIL 120MG SUSPENSION below 30°C (or 25°C, depending on specific product guidelines) and away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it out of the sight and reach of children. For some formulations, it should be discarded 2 months after first opening.
