DOLO 120SYP 60ML

About

Paracetamol, also known as acetaminophen, is a cornerstone medication in the management of pain and fever, widely recognized for its efficacy and favorable safety profile when used appropriately. Its primary mode of action involves the selective inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis within the central nervous system, which results in a reduction of pain perception and a decrease in elevated body temperature. This central action minimizes peripheral effects, such as gastrointestinal irritation, which are often associated with other classes of analgesics like NSAIDs. Dolo 120 Syrup is an oral liquid formulation specifically tailored for pediatric patients, offering a convenient and palatable method for administering paracetamol. It is indicated for the symptomatic relief of mild to moderate pain, including discomfort from headaches, earaches, and minor musculoskeletal aches, as well as for the effective reduction of fever, including post-vaccination fever. The syrup's formulation ensures ease of administration and accurate dosing for children, contributing to better patient compliance and rapid therapeutic effect.
