DUOFLAM TABLET

DUOFLAM TABLET is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used in relieving pain. Pain can be acute (temporary) or chronic (long-lasting). Acute pain is a short time pain caused by damage to the tissues of the muscle, bone, or other organs. Chronic pain lasts for a long duration and is caused due to pathologies like nerve damage, etc. DUOFLAM TABLET helps provide relief from symptoms of muscle pain, and dental pain in children. It is also used in reducing fever.

DUOFLAM TABLET is a combination medicine containing two drugs namely: Ibuprofen (anti-inflammatory effect) and Paracetamol (analgesic and antipyretic). Ibuprofen works by blocking the effect of a chemical known as prostaglandin, responsible for inducing pain and inflammation in our body. Paracetamol lowers the elevated body temperature and mild pain by inhibiting the synthesis of a chemical messenger (prostaglandin) and promoting heat loss (through sweating) that helps reset the hypothalamic thermostat. 

DUOFLAM TABLET may cause certain side effects in your child such as abdominal pain, headache, cold-like nose symptoms (in children), or diarrhoea (in children). These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your pediatrician. DUOFLAM TABLET should be taken as advised by your doctor. Do not give more than the prescribed dose of DUOFLAM TABLET to the child. DUOFLAM TABLET can be given with or without food. The dose of the medicine will be decided by your paediatrician depending on the type and severity of the infection.

DUOFLAM TABLET is intended for pediatric use only. Avoid giving DUOFLAM TABLET to your child if she/he is allergic to antibiotics. Keep your doctor informed about your child’s health condition including his current medications and medical history to rule out any side effects/interactions. Before administration, inform your child’s doctor about liver and kidney disease. DUOFLAM TABLET is not recommended for use in children below six years of age as its safety and efficacy are not established.
