About Mefcron Suspension

Mefcron Suspension belongs to a group of medicines called NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) indicated for the symptomatic treatment of fever in children above six months. It is also useful for relieving mild to moderate pain in children.
 
Mefcron Suspension contains 'Mefenamic acid', which works by blocking the effect of chemical messengers that cause pain and fever. Thus, Mefcron Suspension helps relieve fever and pain.
 
In some cases, Mefcron Suspension may cause side effects such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and flatulence. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
 
Let your doctor know if your child has asthma, active ulcers, pre-existing renal disease, or chronic inflammation of the upper/lower gastrointestinal tract. Keep your doctor informed about your child’s health condition and medications to rule out any side effects/interactions.
