How much time does Dolo 650 take to work?

Dear Reader,

Dolo 650 usually starts working within 30 to 60 minutes after you take it. This means you should begin to notice a reduction in fever and body pain about half an hour to an hour after swallowing the tablet. However, the exact timing can vary slightly depending on a few factors:

Whether you took it on an empty stomach or after food: Dolo 650 may work a little faster if taken on an empty stomach, but it’s generally safer and gentler on the stomach when taken after food.
Your body’s metabolism: Everyone’s body processes medicine a bit differently, so some people may feel relief sooner, while others might take a little longer.
Severity of symptoms: If your fever or pain is high, it may take a bit more time or a second dose (after the recommended gap) to feel complete relief. The effect will also depend on the underlying cause of symptoms, which need to be addressed first.

Each dose of Dolo 650 works for about 4 to 6 hours, and you may take another tablet after at least 6 hours, if needed, but don’t exceed four tablets (2600 mg) in 24 hours unless a doctor advises otherwise.

If your fever or pain hasn’t improved after 2–3 doses or lasts more than 2 days, it’s best to see a doctor, as the cause might need further treatment or another medicine.

In short, Dolo 650 usually starts showing effect in 30–60 minutes and provides relief for up to 6 hours.
