Combiflam Suspension 60 ml

Combiflam Suspension 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-term 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. Combiflam Suspension helps provide relief from symptoms of muscle pain, and dental pain in children. It is also used in reducing fever.

Combiflam Suspension 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.

Combiflam Suspension 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 paediatrician. Combiflam Suspension should be taken as advised by your doctor. Do not give more than the prescribed dose of Combiflam Suspension to the child. Combiflam Suspension 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.

Combiflam Suspension is intended for pediatric use only. Avoid giving Combiflam Suspension 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. Combiflam Suspension is not recommended for use in children below six years of age as its safety and efficacy are not established.

• The child’s immune system is affected by stress and raises the risk of being sick. Hence try progressive muscle relaxation techniques to relieve stress.
• Sleeping for 7-9 hours each night can make your child stay fit and safe.
• Make your child drink more fluids to avoid dehydration.

Pain: Pain can be short-term (acute) or long-term (chronic). Acute pain is for a short time caused by damage to the tissues of the muscle, bone, or organs. In contrast, chronic pain lasts for a longer duration. It is caused due to pathologies like nerve damage, Osteoarthritis, and dental pain due to damage to the tooth nerve, infection, decay, extraction, or injury. Many women have painful periods known as dysmenorrhea, most often menstrual cramps. On the other hand, Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease that results in chronic pain in joints (especially the knee) and stiffness making daily tasks difficult.

Fever: Fever is not a disease but a sign that your body is trying to fight an infection or illness in which your body’s immune system gets activated to fight infections caused by bacteria or viruses. A normal temperature is around 98.6 F but may vary from person to person. Fever is caused due to the ‘pyrogen’ released by the hypothalamus part of the brain. This pyrogen causes heat-generating effects to match a new higher temperature set point to fight infection.
