Can I give Meftal Forte to my 6-year-old child who weighs 20 kg to treat a sudden fever?

Asked by Male, 33 · 9 hours ago

Please do not give Meftal Forte to your 6-year-old. Meftal Forte is an adult-strength medication containing mefenamic acid and paracetamol, and this dose is much too high and unsafe for a child weighing 20 kg. Giving this could lead to a dangerous overdose. For your child's safety, please consult a pediatrician to get the correct pediatric formulation and dosage of paracetamol or ibuprofen suited for their weight.
