Amico M syrup is a combination medication that contains two active ingredients: mefenamic acid and paracetamol. Mefenamic acid is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by blocking the production of certain chemicals in the body that cause pain and inflammation. Paracetamol is a pain reliever and fever reducer that works by blocking the production of prostaglandins, which are involved in pain and fever.
Amico M syrup is typically used to treat mild to moderate pain, such as headache, toothache, menstrual cramps, and muscle aches. It may also be used to reduce fever.
The recommended dosage of Amico M syrup may vary depending on your age, health status, and the severity of your symptoms. It is important to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider or on the packaging.
Common side effects of Amico M syrup may include stomach upset, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Rarely, more serious side effects may occur, such as allergic reactions, liver damage, or bleeding in the stomach or intestines. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects while taking Amico M syrup, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
It is important to inform your healthcare provider of any other medications you are taking before using Amico M syrup, as it may interact with certain medications, including blood thinners, other NSAIDs, and certain antidepressants. Additionally, avoid drinking alcohol while taking Amico M syrup, as it can increase the risk of liver damage.
