About FELOK M SUSPENSION

FELOK M SUSPENSION is used to relieve pain and fever. It helps relieve muscle and dental pain in children. Acute pain is short-term and caused by damage to the tissues of the muscle, bone, or other organs. Chronic pain lasts for a long duration and is caused by pathologies like nerve damage, etc.

FELOK M SUSPENSION is a combination of mefenamic acid and paracetamol. Mefenamic acid works by blocking the effect of a chemical known as prostaglandin. Paracetamol inhibits the synthesis of a chemical messenger (prostaglandin) and promotes heat loss (through sweating).

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.

Mefenamic acid (NSAID) and Paracetamol (antipyretic). Mefenamic acid works by blocking the effect of a chemical known as prostaglandin, which is responsible for inducing pain and inflammation in our body. Paracetamol lowers elevated body temperature and mild pain by inhibiting the synthesis of a chemical messenger (prostaglandin) and promoting heat loss (through sweating).
