I'm someone who usually takes Dolo 650 when I'm feeling feverish or have a headache. But I recently heard that it's banned in India. Is it harmful? What are the alternative medications I can take for this?

Dolo 650mg is not banned in India. You can consider taking Crocin 650 mg. It contains paracetamol which is effective for reducing fever and relieving headache. The usual dosage for adults is 1-2 tablets every 4-6 hours as needed, with a maximum of 8 tablets in 24 hours.

I'm a bit confused about my prescription. My doctor told me to take Nutrolin B capsule, but when I checked online, I couldn't find it. I did find something called Nutrolin B Plus capsule, though. Is it okay if I take that instead? Whats the difference between the two?
