FAQ

Question
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Blupimef-P?
Blupimef-P can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Blupimef-P. Also, check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
Answer

Question
When will my child feel better?
The doctor may advise you to keep giving Blupimef-P 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 the medicine, consult your child’s doctor as soon as possible.
Answer

Question
Are there any serious side effects of this medicine for my child?
Blupimef-P 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.
Answer

Question
Can all children be given the same dose of Blupimef-P?
No. Blupimef-P 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.
Answer

Question
Can I change the dose of Blupimef-P 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 dosing may cause recurrence of symptoms. So, for best results, speak to your child’s doctor if you feel a change in dose may be needed.

Answer

Question
My child is taking Blupimef-P for toothache and now has to undergo an extraction procedure. Should I continue giving Blupimef-P?
Withhold Blupimef-P from at least 3 to 5 days before a surgical procedure to prevent excessive bleeding. In case of any confusion, it is best to reach out to your child’s doctor.
Answer

Question
How much Blupimef-P should I give to my child?
Your doctor will prescribe the dose according to your child’s condition and body weight. Stick to the prescribed dosing schedule as that is the best way to ensure safe and complete recovery of your child.
Answer
Question
What if I forget to give Blupimef-P to my child?
Do not panic. Give the missed as soon as you remember. However, you should skip the missed dose if it is already time for the next dose or if your child’s doctor has asked you not to make up for missed doses. Never give a double dose and follow the prescribed dosing schedule.

Blupimef-P Oral Suspension Mango Reviews

Blupimef-P contains two active ingredients both of which belong to a common class of medicines known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It helps to lower body temperature (fever) and reduce pain and inflammation (redness and swelling) both in infants and children.

Adhere to the prescribed dose, time, and way while giving Blupimef-P to your child. Give it orally, preferably at a fixed time. It can be given before or after food, but giving it after food helps prevent the chance of developing an upset stomach. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of taking this medicine, give the same dose again. Avoid giving more than the recommended dose for fast relief as that may cause unwanted effects in your child.

Some children develop certain mild side effects like nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, heartburn, and diarrhea after taking this medicine. In case your child develops these side effects, do not worry as these are mostly temporary and resolve on their own. But, if these effects persist or become bothersome for your child, do consult your child’s doctor on a priority basis.

Before giving Blupimef-P to your child, do 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 critical for dose alteration and helps in planning your child's overall treatment.
