Your child’s medicine at a glance
Duoflam Kid Suspension contains two active ingredients, both of which belong to a common class of medicines known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It helps lower body temperature (fever) and reduce pain and inflammation (redness and swelling) both in infants and children.
The dosage should be given as per age and weight recommendations and should not exceed the prescribed limit, as overdose may lead to liver damage or allergic reactions. Shake the bottle well before use and measure the dose accurately. If a dose is missed, administer it as soon as possible, but avoid doubling doses.
Common side effects of Duoflam Kid Suspension include hypersensitivity, skin rashes, diarrhea, and nausea. Inform the doctor if these symptoms get worse or last longer. If these side effects persist or worsen, consult your child's doctor.
Before giving Duoflam Kid Suspension to your child, inform the doctor if your child is allergic to any medicine or products or has a history of any heart problems, birth defects, liver disease, kidney disease, lung disease, or bleeding disorder. This information is important for dose alteration and helps in planning your child's overall dosage.

FAQs
How much Duoflam Kid Suspension should I give to my child?

Can I change the dose of Duoflam Kid Suspension for my child by myself according to the severity of illness?
No, it is not recommended to alter the dose of the medicine without consulting a doctor. While an unnecessary increase in dose may lead to toxicity, a sudden lowering of the dose may cause a recurrence of symptoms. So, for best results, speak to your child’s doctor if you feel a change in dose may be needed.
Can all children be given the same dose of Duoflam Kid Suspension?
No. Duoflam Kid Suspension cannot be given to everyone in the same dose. The doctor decides the appropriate dose based on the child’s age and body weight. Since the dose changes so unpredictably, you must never give any dose of this medicine to anyone without consulting a doctor. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully to get the most benefit.
When will my child feel better?
The doctor may advise you to keep giving Duoflam Kid Suspension to your child for a few days to weeks, depending upon the severity of the illness. You’ll notice that the pain or fever will reduce, and your child will start feeling better gradually as the course approaches its end. In case your child continues to feel unwell even after completion of the full prescribed course of medicine, consult your child’s doctor as soon as possible.
Are there any serious side effects of this medicine for my child?
Duoflam Kid Suspension is well tolerated by most children. However, if your child experiences any intolerable episodes like persistent vomiting, body swelling, decreased urine frequency, serious allergic reaction, and severe pain due to gastric ulcers, then rush to your doctor on an immediate basis.
How should I store Duoflam Kid Suspension?
Store Duoflam Kid Suspension at room temperature, in a dry place, away from direct heat and light. Avoid leaving medicines within the reach and sight of children.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Duoflam Kid Suspension?
