Uses

ZEEPARA Suspension is prescribed for the relief of mild to moderate pain, such as headaches, toothaches, muscle aches, and menstrual cramps. It is also an effective antipyretic, meaning it helps to reduce fever.

Do not exceed the recommended dosage or frequency of administration without consulting a healthcare professional.

Mechanism of Action

Paracetamol, the active ingredient in ZEEPARA Suspension, works by inhibiting the production of certain chemicals in the body that are responsible for pain and fever. It acts on the central nervous system to provide pain relief and reduce fever.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, and allergic reactions such as rash or itching. These side effects are usually mild and resolve on their own.

However, serious side effects are rare but may include severe allergic reactions (e.g., difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat) or signs of liver problems (e.g., yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, persistent nausea or vomiting). If any of these serious side effects occur, seek immediate medical attention.

Drug Interactions

inform your healthcare professional about all the medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs, herbal supplements, and vitamins. Some medications may interact with ZEEPARA Suspension, potentially affecting its effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects.

Common drug interactions include certain antibiotics, blood thinners, and certain medications used to treat epilepsy. Discuss potential drug interactions with your healthcare professional before starting ZEEPARA Suspension.

Precautions

Before using ZEEPARA Suspension, inform your healthcare professional about any known allergies or medical conditions you may have, especially liver or kidney problems. This medication should be used with caution in individuals with pre-existing liver disease.

Avoid consuming alcohol while taking ZEEPARA Suspension, as it may increase the risk of liver damage. Avoid taking more than one medication that contains Paracetamol at the same time, as this can lead to an overdose.
