About Metacin Syrup Large
Metacin Syrup Large is used in relieving pain and fever. Pain can be acute (temporary) or chronic (long-lasting). Fever is a high body temperature followed by shivering, headache, and, in severe cases, delirium.
Metacin Syrup Large contains Paracetamol, which works by blocking the production of a chemical messenger (prostaglandin) and encouraging heat loss (through sweating), which helps reset the hypothalamus thermostat.
Metacin Syrup Large may cause side effects such as abdominal pain, nausea or diarrhoea. If the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your paediatrician.
Metacin Syrup Large is intended for pediatric use only. Avoid giving Metacin Syrup Large to your child if she/he is allergic to it. Keep your doctor informed about your child’s health condition, medications, and medical history to rule out any side effects/interactions.

How Metacin Syrup Large Works
Storage
- Inform Your Doctor: Notify your doctor immediately about your diarrhoea symptoms. This allows them to adjust your medication or provide guidance on managing side effects.
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids to replace lost water and electrolytes. Choose water, clear broth, and electrolyte-rich drinks. Avoid carbonated or caffeinated beverages to effectively rehydrate your body.
- Follow a Bland Diet: Eat easy-to-digest foods to help firm up your stool and settle your stomach. Try incorporating bananas, rice, applesauce, toast, plain crackers, and boiled vegetables into your diet.
- Avoid Trigger Foods: Steer clear of foods that can worsen diarrhoea, such as spicy, fatty, or greasy foods, high-fibre foods, and dairy products (especially if you're lactose intolerant).
- Practice Good Hygiene: Maintain good hygiene to prevent the spread of infection. To stay healthy, wash your hands frequently, clean and disinfect surfaces regularly, and avoid exchanging personal belongings with others.
- Take Anti-Diarrheal Medications: If your doctor advises, anti-diarrheal medications such as loperamide might help manage diarrhoea symptoms. Always follow your doctor's directions.
- Keep track of your diarrhoea symptoms. If they don't get better or worse or are accompanied by severe stomach pain, blood, or dehydration signs (like extreme thirst or dark urine), seek medical help.
- Get urgent medical help if you notice abnormal lung sounds with symptoms, like bluish skin, flare-ups of your nostrils, or trouble breathing.
- If you have asthma or allergies, managing these conditions with inhalers and bronchodilators can help prevent abnormal lung sounds.
- Infections may need antibiotics or breathing therapy to help open your airways and make breathing easier.
- Wash your hands regularly and take other steps to avoid getting sick and spreading germs.
