CAMYLOFIN+PARACETAMOL

About

CAMYLOFIN+PARACETAMOL is a combination drug primarily used to reduce abdominal pain caused due to dysmenorrhoea (irregular periods/menses). Dysmenorrhea (Abdominal cramps) is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with irregular periods. It occurs just before or during menses. Menstrual cramps cause throbbing pain in the lower belly (abdomen) during menses. These cramps can range from mild to severe.

CAMYLOFIN+PARACETAMOL is composed of two medicines: Camylofin (antispasmodic) and Paracetamol (analgesic). Paracetamol has both analgesic (pain reducer) and antipyretic (fever reducer) properties and decreases inflammation caused due to dysmenorrhea. It blocks a chemical messenger in pain responsible for making a person sense pain. Camylofin helps block the activity of certain natural substances in the body to cause pain. Together, they effectively reduce pain.

CAMYLOFIN+PARACETAMOL should be taken as prescribed by the doctor. CAMYLOFIN+PARACETAMOL is generally safe to consume. Some people may experience dizziness, nausea (feeling sick), digestion problems (constipation, flatulence, diarrhoea), and skin reactions (like rashes and hives). Most of the side effects of CAMYLOFIN+PARACETAMOL do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Taking more than the daily prescribed dose of CAMYLOFIN+PARACETAMOL may cause liver damage or allergic reactions like mouth, face, and throat swelling, difficulty breathing, skin rash, or itching. Most liver injury cases are associated with paracetamol at doses exceeding 4 gm per day. Gastrointestinal bleeding and ulcer formation are commonly observed with the help of CAMYLOFIN+PARACETAMOL, so the doctor may prescribe you the lowest dose available.

You can also strengthen your muscle strength by lifting light weights and doing muscle stretching regularly.
    • Your sitting posture is important, especially when you have pain and inflammation condition. Try to sit as little as possible and only for a short time (10-15 min). Use back support like a rolled-up towel to minimise pain at the back of your curve. Keep your knees and hips at a right angle.
