About Pcm 125 mg Syrup
Pcm 125 mg Syrup is used to reduce fever and treat mild to moderate pain. It is also used to relieve headaches, migraine, toothaches, period pain, back pain, muscle pain, and rheumatic pain. The activation of pain receptors causes pain and fever due to the release of certain natural chemicals in the body, like prostaglandin.
Pcm 125 mg Syrup works by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers in the brain known as prostaglandins, reducing pain. Additionally, Pcm 125 mg Syrup affects an area of the brain that regulates body temperature, known as the hypothalamic heat-regulating centre, which reduces fever.
Not everyone who is taking Pcm 125 mg Syrup will get these side effects. In some cases, Pcm 125 mg Syrup may cause side effects such as nausea, stomach pain and dark-coloured urine. Most of these side effects of Pcm 125 mg Syrup do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
Take Pcm 125 mg Syrup as advised by your physician. Your doctor will recommend how often you should take Pcm 125 mg Syrup, based on your medical condition.
