I was wondering how often I can take Dolo 650 in a day? And what's the minimum time I should wait between doses? I'm just a bit worried and want to make sure I'm using it safely.

Dolo 650 (Paracetamol) can be taken every 4 to 6 hours as needed, with a maximum of 4 doses in 24 hours. Please inform me minimum period required in two dosage. The minimum period required between two doses of Dolo 650 is 4 hours.

I'm just dealing with a fever right now and noticing it's getting better after taking Dolo. Should I stick with this or maybe think about getting a blood test done? What do you suggest?

you're experiencing fever that's responding to Dolo (Paracetamol), you can continue taking it as directed. However, consider the following: *General Guidance* 1. *Monitor fever*: Keep track of your temperature and watch for any signs of fever returning or worsening. 2. *Dolo dosage*: Ensure you're taking the recommended dose (500-1000 mg every 4-6 hours) and not exceeding the maximum daily limit (4000 mg). 3. *Duration*: If fever persists beyond 3-4 days or worsens, seek medical attention. *Blood Test Considerations* Consider a blood test if you experience: 1. *Severe headache* 2. *Confusion or disorientation* 3. *Difficulty breathing* 4. *Severe abdominal pain* 5. *Vomiting or diarrhea* 6. *Fever above 103F (39.4C)* 7. *Fever lasting more than 4 days*
