Question

I've been prescribed Fluka 150 TDS for 5 days. Is it really okay to take Fluka 150 three times a day? I'm not questioning the doctor's treatment; I just need to know if it's safe because before, I was told to only take it once a week.

Dolo 650 for 15-Year-Old

Dolo 650 contains 650mg of Paracetamol (Acetaminophen)

Suitable for 15-year-olds:

  1. Fever: Dolo 650 can be given for fever, but ensure not to exceed the recommended dose.
  2. Menstrual pain: Dolo 650 can help alleviate mild to moderate menstrual cramps.

Precautions:

  1. Dosage: Follow the recommended dosage: 1 tablet every 4-6 hours, not exceeding 3 tablets in 24 hours.
  2. Liver health: Paracetamol can be harmful to the liver in high doses. Ensure your daughter doesn't exceed the recommended dose.
  3. Medical conditions: If your daughter has any medical conditions, such as liver or kidney disease, consult her doctor before administering Dolo 650.

Alternative options:

  1. Dolo 500: Consider Dolo 500 (500mg Paracetamol) for a lower dose option.
  2. Other pain relievers: Consult your daughter's doctor about alternative pain relievers, such as Ibuprofen, for menstrual cramps.
