About Para 98 DS Suspension

Para 98 DS Suspension belongs to a group of medicines called Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) used for the treatment of pain, inflammation, migraine headache, period pain, heavy bleeding during periods, muscle pain, tooth pain, joint pain, pain after surgery, ear pain, fever, flu, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, causing uncomfortable sensations in the body.

Para 98 DS Suspension contains two drugs, Mefenamic acid and Paracetamol. Para 98 DS Suspension blocks the effect of a chemical messenger known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzyme that makes other chemical prostaglandins. By blocking the effect of COX enzymes, lesser prostaglandins are produced. This helps reduce mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site.

You are advised to take Para 98 DS Suspension for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, Para 98 DS Suspension may cause common side effects such as nausea, vomiting, indigestion, heartburn, and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Para 98 DS Suspension may cause dizziness, so drive only if you are alert. Avoid consuming alcohol with Para 98 DS Suspension as it could lead to increased dizziness and may increase the risk of stomach bleeding. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side effects/interactions.

Side effects of Para 98 DS Suspension 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.
Here are the steps to manage the medication-triggered Cough:
  • Tell your doctor about the cough symptoms you're experiencing, which may be triggered by your medication.
  • Your doctor may adjust your treatment plan by changing your medication, adding new medications, or providing guidance on managing your cough symptoms.
  • Practice good hygiene, including frequent handwashing, avoiding close contact with others, and avoiding sharing utensils or personal items.
  • Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids, such as water, tea, or soup, to help thin out mucus and soothe your throat.
  • Get plenty of rest and engage in stress-reducing activities to help your body recover. If your cough persists or worsens, consult your doctor for further guidance.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Pain: Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, causing uncomfortable sensations in the body. Pain may be dull or sharp; it might be constant or may come and go. The tolerance level of pain might vary from person to person. Pain can be generalised (overall body aches) or localized (affecting a specific area of the body). The common causes of pain include headache, muscle strain, cramps, cuts, bone fractures, and arthritis.

Osteoarthritis: It is a joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering called cartilage. Due to the absence of this protective covering, the joints rub against each other, leading to pain and stiffness. Symptoms include pain, stiffness, inflammation and tenderness.

Rheumatoid arthritis: It is an auto-immune disease (the body's immune system attacks its tissue), leading to joint pain and damage. Symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis include pain, swelling, stiffness, deformities and loss of joint function.
