About Gerpyrin Infusion

Gerpyrin Infusion is used to relieve mild to moderate pain and to treat fever. Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, which causes uncomfortable sensations in the body. Fever occurs when the body's temperature goes above the average body temperature (98.6°F or 37°C).

Gerpyrin Infusion contains 'Paracetamol,' which prevents the formation of chemical messengers called prostaglandins, which cause pain and swelling at the injury sites. This process reduces the mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Gerpyrin Infusion also affects an area of the brain that regulates body temperature known as the hypothalamic heat-regulating centre. Thus, it reduces fever.

Your doctor will decide the dose and duration of Gerpyrin Infusion based on the severity of your medical condition. Common side effects of Gerpyrin Infusion include constipation, nausea, and vomiting. These side effects are not familiar to everyone and vary individually.
