Description
Dolo 500 tablet is a commonly used painkiller and fever-reducing medicine that contains paracetamol as its active ingredient. It works by blocking certain chemical messengers in the body that cause pain and also acts on the brain centre responsible for regulating body temperature. This makes it effective in providing relief from headaches, body pain, toothaches, and fever. When taken in the correct dose, it is generally safe and well-tolerated.
Several other medicines also contain paracetamol as their primary component, including Crocin Advanced 500mg tablets, Calpol 500mg tablets, Pyrigesic 500mg tablets, and Panadol tablets. Since all of these work in the same way, they should not be taken together to avoid accidental overdose. Always follow the prescribed dosage to ensure safe and effective use of Dolo 500.
Side effects with Dolo 500 are uncommon, but in some cases, you may experience a skin rash, blisters, irritation, or allergic reactions. If you experience any of these symptoms, consult your doctor immediately. These side effects usually subside once the medicine is stopped, but medical guidance is important to avoid complications.
It is important to note that prolonged use of Dolo 500 or taking it in higher-than-recommended doses can cause serious liver damage. Therefore, do not exceed the maximum daily dose and avoid consuming alcohol while taking this medicine, as alcohol further increases the risk of liver injury.
For best results, take Dolo 500 with meals to reduce the chance of stomach upset. If your fever or pain does not improve after taking the medicine, or if you notice signs of an allergic reaction, contact your doctor without delay. Using Dolo 500 responsibly as advised by your healthcare provider will help you manage pain and fever safely and effectively.
