Introduction About CENTAMOL 125MG SUSPENSION

Centamol-125 Suspension is a painkiller and anti-pyretic medicine. It is used in children to temporarily relieve mild to moderate pain such as headache, toothache, migraine, nerve pain, sore throat, period pains and general aches and helps to reduce fever (high body temperature). Also, it relieves symptoms of cold and flu. It contains paracetamol as an active ingredient that reduces fever and pain.  

Paracetamol relieves pain by increasing the pain threshold by inhibiting certain enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2) involved in synthesis of chemicals responsible for inducing pain (prostaglandins). It reduces fever by directly acting on heat-regulating centers in the brain, resulting in vessel relaxation, sweating and loss of body heat.

Always give Centamol-125 Suspension to your child as advised by the doctor. Shake well before use. Do not exceed the recommended daily dosage. Use a measuring cup to properly measure the dose. Before giving Centamol-125 Suspension to your child, consult child’s doctor for advice if your child is suffering from kidney or liver impairment.
