DOLO DROP 15ml

About

Paracetamol, also known as acetaminophen, is a widely utilized and effective analgesic and antipyretic agent. Its primary mechanism of action involves the inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis predominantly within the central nervous system, which leads to a reduction in pain perception and a lowering of elevated body temperature. Unlike non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), paracetamol exhibits minimal anti-inflammatory effects and carries a significantly lower risk of gastrointestinal irritation or bleeding, making it a safer option for sensitive individuals. Dolo Drop is specifically formulated as an oral solution for pediatric use, providing precise and convenient dosing for infants and young children. It is indicated for the symptomatic relief of mild to moderate pain, such as that associated with teething, headaches, and minor injuries, as well as for the reduction of fever, including post-immunization pyrexia. Its rapid absorption ensures a quick onset of action, typically within 30 minutes, offering prompt relief and improving comfort for the child. This formulation is designed to be palatable, aiding in patient compliance.
