About Febrex Syrup

Febrex Syrup test testing product is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used in relieving pain and fever. Pain can be acute (temporary) or chronic (long-lasting). Acute pain is a short time pain caused by damage to the tissues of the muscle, bone, or other organs. Chronic pain lasts for a long duration and is caused due to pathologies like nerve damage, etc. This medicine helps relieve symptoms of muscle pain and dental pain in children. Fever is a high body temperature followed by shivering, headache, and, in severe cases, delirium.

Febrex Syrup contains Paracetamol which belongs to the antipyretic and analgesic class of drugs. Paracetamol works by blocking the production of a chemical messenger (prostaglandin) and encouraging heat loss (through sweating), which helps reset the hypothalamus thermostat.

Febrex Syrup may cause certain side effects such as abdominal pain, cold-like symptoms, or diarrhoea. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your paediatrician. Febrex Syrup should be used as advised by your doctor. Do not give the child more than the prescribed dose of Febrex Syrup. Febrex Syrup can be given with or without food. Your paediatrician will decide the dose of the medicine depending upon the type and severity of the condition.

Febrex Syrup is intended for pediatric use only. Avoid giving Febrex Syrup to your child if she/he is allergic to it. Keep your doctor informed about your child’s health condition, medications, and medical history to rule out any side effects/interactions. If your child has liver and kidney disease, inform your doctor before using this medicine. Febrex Syrup is used in babies below two years of age.

Uses of Febrex Syrup

Pain, Fever.

Directions for Use

Shake the container well before each use. Measure the required amount of Febrex Syrup and administer it to your baby. It is advised to measure the quantity accurately with the help of a syringe or dropper containing markings.

Medicinal Benefits

Febrex Syrup contains Paracetamol as an active ingredient (antipyretic and analgesic). Paracetamol lowers the elevated body temperature and mild pain by inhibiting the synthesis of a chemical messenger (prostaglandin) and promoting heat loss (through sweating) that helps reset the hypothalamic thermostat. 

Storage

Side effects of Febrex Syrup 60 ml
Here are the precise steps to cope with diarrhoea caused by medication usage:
  • Inform Your Doctor: Notify your doctor immediately about your diarrhoea symptoms. This allows them to adjust your medication or provide guidance on managing side effects.
  • Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids to replace lost water and electrolytes. Choose water, clear broth, and electrolyte-rich drinks. Avoid carbonated or caffeinated beverages to effectively rehydrate your body.
  • Follow a Bland Diet: Eat easy-to-digest foods to help firm up your stool and settle your stomach. Try incorporating bananas, rice, applesauce, toast, plain crackers, and boiled vegetables into your diet.
  • Avoid Trigger Foods: Steer clear of foods that can worsen diarrhoea, such as spicy, fatty, or greasy foods, high-fibre foods, and dairy products (especially if you're lactose intolerant).
  • Practice Good Hygiene: Maintain good hygiene to prevent the spread of infection. To stay healthy, wash your hands frequently, clean and disinfect surfaces regularly, and avoid exchanging personal belongings with others.
  • Take Anti-Diarrheal Medications: If your doctor advises, anti-diarrheal medications such as loperamide might help manage diarrhoea symptoms. Always follow your doctor's directions.
  • Keep track of your diarrhoea symptoms. If they don't get better or worse or are accompanied by severe stomach pain, blood, or dehydration signs (like extreme thirst or dark urine), seek medical help.
  • Get urgent medical help if you notice abnormal lung sounds with symptoms, like bluish skin, flare-ups of your nostrils, or trouble breathing.
  • If you have asthma or allergies, managing these conditions with inhalers and bronchodilators can help prevent abnormal lung sounds.
  • Infections may need antibiotics or breathing therapy to help open your airways and make breathing easier.
  • Wash your hands regularly and take other steps to avoid getting sick and spreading germs.
  • Doing breathing exercises can help improve your lung function and make breathing easier.
  • Contact your physician right away if you suffer from hypoxia symptoms including chest pain, disorientation, or shortness of breath.
  • Your doctor can monitor your progress and modify treatment programs with the help of routine follow-up sessions.
  • Omega-3 supplements may support the transport of oxygen to tissues.
  • Regular exercise improves cardiovascular health and boosts oxygen delivery to tissues.
  • Quit smoking, as it can worsen hypoxia.

Drug Warnings

  • Febrex Syrup may interact with antibiotics like Azithromycin and erythromycin. Hence, please maintain a gap of at least 1 hour between the administration of Febrex Syrup and antibiotics.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Pain: Pain can be short-term (acute) or long-term (chronic). Acute pain is caused by damage to the tissues of the muscle, bone, or organs and lasts for a short time. In contrast, chronic pain lasts for a longer duration. It is caused due to pathologies like nerve damage, osteoarthritis, and dental pain due to damage to the tooth nerve, infection, decay, extraction, or injury.

Fever: Fever is not a disease but a sign that the body is trying to fight an infection or illness in which the body's immune system gets activated to fight infections caused by bacteria or viruses. A normal temperature is around 98.6 F but may vary from person to person. Fever is caused due to the 'pyrogen' released by the hypothalamus part of the brain. This pyrogen causes heat-generating effects to match a new higher temperature set point to fight infection.
