1. Benefits:

   • Pain Relief: Paracetamol works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are substances in the body that cause pain and fever. This helps in relieving mild to moderate pain associated with conditions such as headache, toothache, and musculoskeletal pain.
   • Fever Reduction: Paracetamol also acts as an antipyretic, helping to reduce fever associated with infections and inflammatory conditions.
   • Muscle Spasm Relief: Camylofin helps relax smooth muscles, providing relief from spasms and cramps in the gastrointestinal and urinary tracts.

2. Side Effects:

   • Common side effects of Anafortan Syrup may include:
     • Nausea
     • Upset stomach
     • Headache
     • Dizziness
   • Less common side effects may include allergic reactions, liver problems, or kidney damage. If any severe or persistent side effects occur, medical attention should be sought promptly.

3. Usage Guidelines:

   • Anafortan Syrup is usually taken orally with water, preferably after meals to reduce the risk of gastrointestinal upset.
   • The dosage and frequency of administration depend on the individual’s age, weight, and the severity of the condition being treated. It’s crucial to follow the dosage instructions provided by a healthcare professional or as directed on the product label.
   • Shake the bottle well before each use to ensure uniform distribution of the medication.
   • Do not exceed the recommended dosage or duration of treatment without consulting a healthcare provider.
   • If a dose is missed, it should be taken as soon as remembered. However, if it’s almost time for the next dose, the missed dose should be skipped, and the regular dosing schedule resumed.

4. Drug Interactions:

   • Anafortan Syrup may interact with other medications, including:
     • Other NSAIDs, anticoagulants, antiplatelet drugs, or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), increasing the risk of bleeding.
     • Diuretics, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, or angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), increasing the risk of kidney problems.
     • Other medications metabolized by the liver, as Paracetamol may affect liver function.

It’s crucial to inform the healthcare provider about all medications, supplements, and herbal products being taken to avoid potential interactions or adverse effects.

Anafortan Syrup offers effective relief from pain, fever, and muscle spasms due to its combination of Camylofin and Paracetamol. However, it’s essential to use it as directed and seek medical advice if experiencing any concerning side effects or if symptoms persist.
