FAQs ABOUT DOLO 650MG TABLET

Q: What is Dolo 650 Tablet used for?
A: Dolo 650 is used to provide relief from fever and body pains. It contains a medicine called paracetamol which has fever and pain reducing properties. It works by blocking the release of certain chemicals in the body that triggers fever or causes pain which makes it a suitable medicine to manage fever and various pain conditions like headache, body pain, muscle pain, menstrual cramps, tooth pain, etc.

Q: Does Dolo 650 make you sleepy?
A: Dolo 650 (paracetamol) does not generally cause drowsiness or sleepiness. Its primary function is to act as an analgesic (pain reliever) and an antipyretic (fever reducer). While some pain medications can cause drowsiness, paracetamol usually does not affect alertness or energy levels. If you experience unexpected drowsiness, it’s best to consult your doctor to rule out other potential causes.

Q: Can we use Dolo 650 for stomach pain?
A: Dolo 650 is not typically recommended for stomach pain unless prescribed by a doctor. Paracetamol (the active ingredient) is primarily used to relieve pain from headaches, body aches, or fevers, rather than gastrointestinal pain. For stomach pain, antispasmodics or medications specifically designed to target digestive discomfort are often more effective. Always consult a healthcare provider before using pain relievers for stomach issues.

Q: What is the side effect of Dolo?
A: Dolo 650 is generally safe when taken as directed. It may cause damage to the liver when taken in higher doses within a short period. Therefore, taking each dosage within 4 to 6 hours intervals is recommended, especially if you have any liver problems.

Q: Is Dolo a sleeping pill?
A: No, Dolo 650 is not a sleeping pill. It is a pain reliever and fever reducer containing paracetamol. It is formulated to relieve mild to moderate pain and fever but does not have sedative properties. For those seeking a sleep aid, a different type of medication would be recommended under a healthcare provider’s guidance.

Q: Can I take 2 Dolo 650 in a day?
A: Yes, you can take Dolo 650 up to 2 times a day, with the standard dosage being 1 tablet every 4 to 6 hours. However, it’s crucial not to exceed 4,000 mg (around 6 tablets) within 24 hours to avoid the risk of liver damage. It’s also recommended to space the doses evenly to prevent overloading your system. Always follow your doctor’s advice if unsure about the dosage.

Q: Can I take Dolo 650 without a fever?
A: Yes, Dolo 650 can be used for pain relief even in the absence of a fever. Paracetamol, the active ingredient, works effectively for pain management, whether or not a fever is present. Many people use it to relieve various types of pain, including headaches and muscle soreness, even if they do not have a fever.

Q: Which is better, Dolo or Combiflam?
A: Dolo 650 and Combiflam serve slightly different purposes. Dolo 650 contains paracetamol, which primarily relieves pain and reduces fever. Combiflam combines paracetamol with ibuprofen, making it more effective for pain involving inflammation (such as joint pain or muscle sprains). If the pain involves inflammation, Combiflam might be more suitable, but Dolo is effective for general pain and fever. Always consult a doctor to find the best option for your specific symptoms.

Q: Is Dolo good for tooth pain?
A: Yes, Dolo 650 can help relieve tooth pain due to its pain-relieving effects. However, it will not address the underlying cause, such as an infection or cavity. Dolo can provide temporary relief, but a dentist’s visit is recommended to treat the root cause of the tooth pain.

Q: Is Dolo good for a cold?
A: Dolo 650 can help alleviate symptoms like fever and body aches associated with a cold. While it does not treat the cold virus itself, it can make you feel more comfortable by reducing fever and relieving aches. For complete relief, other medications or home remedies specifically targeting cold symptoms, such as decongestants, might be needed.
