About Mictal Suspension

Mictal 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.
 
Mictal Suspension contains 'Mefenamic acid', which works by blocking the effect of chemical messengers that cause pain and fever. Thus, Mictal Suspension helps relieve fever and pain.

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.
