About P-500 Suspension

P-500 Suspension is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used in relieving pain and fever. Pain can be acute (temporary) or chronic (long-lasting). Acute pain is a short time pain caused by damage to the tissues of the muscle, bone, or other organs. Chronic pain lasts for a long duration and is caused due to pathologies like nerve damage, etc. This medicine helps relieve symptoms of muscle pain and dental pain in children. Fever is a high body temperature followed by shivering, headache, and, in severe cases, delirium.
