My doctor prescribed Meftal Forte twice a day for three days instead of Dolo 650 for my fever; is it safe to continue taking Meftal Forte on an as-needed basis after those three days are over?
Meftal Forte contains an anti-inflammatory medicine which, if used long-term, can irritate your stomach or affect your kidneys, especially at 69. If your fever returns after three days, please consult your doctor for a proper evaluation. For occasional fever, plain paracetamol like Dolo 650 is generally a safer as-needed option, but it is always best to check with your healthcare provider first to ensure your safety.
