Active composition
Paracetamol works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, leading to reduced synthesis of prostaglandins in the brain, which are responsible for pain and fever.
Medical applications
Macfast 250 Oral Suspension contains Paracetamol 250mg per 5ml and is indicated for the relief of mild to moderate pain and fever in pediatric patients. Paracetamol, a widely used analgesic and antipyretic agent, acts centrally to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis, thereby reducing pain and fever without significant anti-inflammatory effects. Macfast 250 is formulated as a palatable oral suspension, facilitating accurate dosing and ease of administration in children.
It is commonly employed in managing conditions such as headache, toothache, otitis media, pharyngitis, and febrile illnesses. The recommended dosage should be strictly adhered to, based on the child’s weight and age, to avoid the risk of hepatotoxicity associated with overdose. Macfast 250 Oral Suspension is generally well tolerated; however, hypersensitivity reactions, though rare, may occur.
Caution is advised in patients with pre-existing liver impairment or chronic alcohol use. Concomitant use with other paracetamol-containing products should be avoided to prevent cumulative toxicity. This medication should be stored at controlled room temperature, protected from light and moisture. Always consult a healthcare professional before initiating therapy to ensure appropriate use and to address any contraindications or potential drug interactions.
