What immediate steps and monitoring are recommended after a five-year-old child accidentally receives a single double-dose (10 ml instead of the prescribed 5 ml) of Meftal-P suspension?

Asked by Male, 5 · 9 days ago

A single double-dose of Meftal-P (mefenamic acid) is usually well-tolerated. For now, do not give any more doses of this medication. Offer your son plenty of water to help his stomach and kidneys process the medicine. Please monitor him closely for any symptoms like tummy pain, nausea, vomiting, or unusual sleepiness. To be completely safe, I highly recommend contacting your pediatrician or local poison control center right away with his weight to ensure he is fully evaluated.
