Is it safe and effective to substitute Meftal-Spas for Meftal-P to treat symptoms of a cold, fever, and sore throat, and what are the potential side effects of this substitution?

Asked by Female, 19 · 7 days ago

It is not recommended to substitute Meftal-Spas for Meftal-P. While Meftal-P contains mefenamic acid to help ease fever and sore throat, Meftal-Spas contains an additional active medicine called dicyclomine, which is specifically meant to treat stomach muscle spasms. Taking Meftal-Spas for a cold is not effective and can cause unnecessary side effects like dry mouth, drowsiness, blurred vision, or dizziness. For your cold and fever, a simple, direct medication like generic paracetamol is much safer and more effective.
