Product introduction

Dolo Injection is a prescription medicine containing Paracetamol. It is used for fever, headache, body ache and mild to moderate pain. It belongs to the group of medicines called Para-aminophenol derivative.

This is given by a doctor or a nurse. The dose and how long you take it depend on what you are being treated for and how you respond. Do not take more, or for longer, than your doctor has advised.

The side effects seen most often with Dolo Injection are nausea and rash. Most are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. Tell your doctor if one persists or worries you.

Before you start, tell your doctor about any liver, kidney or heart problem, whether you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding, and every other medicine you take, including supplements and ayurvedic preparations. Some of them can change how Dolo Injection works.

Uses

Fever
Headache
Body ache
Mild to moderate pain

Benefits

In Fever: Dolo brings a raised temperature down by acting on the part of the brain that controls body heat, easing the chills, aches and discomfort that come with a fever.
In Headache: Dolo relieves a headache by blocking the chemical messengers in the brain that signal pain, usually within the hour.
In Body ache: Dolo eases the generalised aching of viral illness, overexertion or fever so you can rest and move more comfortably.
In Mild to moderate pain: Dolo relieves everyday pain such as toothache, period pain and sprains. It is gentle on the stomach, which is why it is usually the first painkiller a doctor suggests.

Side effects

Most side effects of Dolo are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

Nausea
Rash

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

How to use

Warnings & precautions

Never exceed the daily maximum printed on the pack. Paracetamol overdose damages the liver, and the damage can be silent for a day or two before it becomes serious. Check every other medicine you are taking. Paracetamol is in a very large number of cold, flu and pain combinations, and the doses add together. If you drink alcohol regularly, or have liver disease, ask your doctor what daily limit is safe for you. See a doctor if fever lasts more than three days, or pain more than five.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can cause severe and sometimes fatal liver damage, often with no symptoms at all for the first day. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Quick tips

Take the lowest dose that works, and leave the stated gap between doses.
Seek help immediately after a suspected overdose, even if you feel completely well.
Treatment works best when it is early.
