FAQ

My child is taking Pyril MF for toothache and now has to undergo an extraction procedure. Should I continue giving Pyril MF?

Withhold Pyril MF 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.

When will my child feel better?

The doctor may advise you to keep giving Pyril MF 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.

Can all children be given the same dose of Pyril MF?

No. Pyril MF 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.

Are there any serious side effects of this medicine for my child?

Pyril MF 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 much Pyril MF 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.

Can other medicines be given at the same time as Pyril MF?

Pyril MF can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Pyril MF. Also, check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.

Can I change the dose of Pyril MF 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.

How should I store Pyril MF?

Store Pyril MF at room temperature, in a dry place, away from direct heat and light. Avoid leaving medicines within the reach and sight of children.

What if I forget to give Pyril MF 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.
