About Infumol IV Injection

Infumol IV Injection 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).

Infumol IV Injection 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. Infumol IV Injection 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 Infumol IV Injection based on the severity of your medical condition. Common side effects of Infumol IV Injection include constipation, nausea, and vomiting. These side effects are not familiar to everyone and vary individually. If you notice any side effects that are not manageable, please consult your doctor.

Please tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of the components of Infumol IV Injection. Let your doctor know if you use any other painkillers before starting this medicine. Inform your doctor if you have liver or kidney diseases, malnutrition, dehydration, and a history of alcoholism before starting Infumol IV Injection. It is essential to let your doctor know if you are pregnant, planning to conceive or are a breastfeeding mother. It is not recommended to consume alcohol while using Infumol IV Injection.
