Usage of Almefkem-P Forte Suspension

Almefkem-P Forte Suspension is used to relieve pain and fever. It contains two active ingredients:

  • Paracetamol (250 mg/5 mL)
  • Mefenamic Acid (100 mg/5 mL)

This suspension is widely used to treat mild to severe pain, including headaches, toothaches, menstrual cramps, and fever.

Description of Almefkem-P Forte Suspension

Almefkem-P Forte Suspension contains Paracetamol (250mg/5ml) and Mefenamic Acid (100mg/5ml) to relieve pain and fever. Paracetamol works by suppressing the formation of prostaglandins, which reduces temperature and pain. Mefenamic Acid, an NSAID, decreases inflammation and relieves pain by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis. This combination is effective for treating headaches, toothaches, menstrual cramps, and fever.
