Description
Gogesic-P suspension is a combined analgesic and antipyretic formulation commonly used to relieve pain and reduce fever in pediatric patients. This combination brings together the anti-inflammatory action of aceclofenac and the fast, reliable pain-relief and fever-reducing effects of paracetamol. The suspension form makes it easier for children to take, offering accurate dose adjustments based on age and body weight.
Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that helps decrease inflammation, swelling, and tenderness by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis. It is often used in conditions involving mild to moderate pain, such as musculoskeletal discomfort, earache, sore throat, postoperative pain, and inflammatory conditions. Paracetamol, also known as acetaminophen, complements aceclofenac by providing quick relief from pain and effectively lowering fever. Together, the combination offers broader and more sustained symptom control compared to either ingredient alone.
The suspension is typically prescribed for short-term management of pain and fever, especially when inflammation is also present. It aims to improve comfort, mobility, and overall well-being in children experiencing discomfort due to infections, tooth eruptions, minor injuries, or inflammatory conditions. The palatable liquid form enhances acceptance and ensures easier administration.
While generally well tolerated when used under medical guidance, the combination may cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort or other NSAID-related effects in some individuals. Care should be taken to avoid exceeding recommended doses, and it should not be used in children with known allergies to NSAIDs or paracetamol. Caregivers should follow a healthcare professional’s instructions regarding dosage and duration of use.
