Dolo 650 (paracetamol) typically doesn't cause sleepiness, but some people may experience drowsiness as a side effect. To reduce sleepiness, try taking the medication with food and avoid activities that require full attention until you feel alert again. If the drowsiness persists, consider consulting your doctor for alternatives.
