About STOPACHE TABLET

STOPACHE TABLET is a combination medication, which belongs to the class of analgesic medication. It is primarily used to treat mild to moderate pain, including headache, backache, migraine, rheumatic and muscle pain, toothache and period pain. On the other hand, it also relieves discomfort in colds, influenza, and sore throats and helps reduce temperature. Pain is caused by the activation of pain receptors due to the release of certain chemicals or enzymes.

STOPACHE TABLET contains paracetamol and caffeine. Paracetamol inhibits the release of these enzymes and alleviates pain. Caffeine increases the efficacy of paracetamol by improving its absorption, thereby prolonging analgesic action. Paracetamol also has an antipyretic effect and can reduce body temperature in cases of fever.

Use STOPACHE TABLET as directed by the physician only. The dose and duration of the medication depend on your condition and its severity. The common side effects of STOPACHE TABLET include agitation, nervousness, and insomnia. Everyone need not experience the above side effects as they vary for each person depending on their health, underlying conditions, age, weight, and gender. In case of any discomfort, speak with a doctor.

Do not take STOPACHE TABLET if you're allergic to any ingredient in it. STOPACHE TABLET is not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Ask your healthcare professional for advice if you have any concerns. Do not use STOPACHE TABLET in more than prescribed doses or longer duration as it may cause adverse effects. Before taking the STOPACHE TABLET, notify your doctor about your current health situation and other medications you are taking to rule out any potential negative effects. STOPACHE TABLET is not recommended in children below 12 years of age. Avoid alcohol consumption with STOPACHE TABLET as it may increase the risk of liver damage.
