Be it mild fever, headache or body ache, the use of 'Dolo-650' has become very common in India to get relief. From children to the elderly everyone is familiar with this medicine. This pill is being used so much in homes that now even an illiterate person can recognize it by looking at it.
In simple language, this small white pill is used to cure many types of common ailments. But have you ever wondered whether its widespread use is safe or not? What are its disadvantages? A doctor's post has given rise to many such important questions.
Dr. Palaniappan Manickam (Dr. Pal), a gastroenterologist living in America, posted on X, "Indian people take Dolo-650 like it's Cadbury Gems." Doctors are also worried about such indiscriminate use of Dolo.
Dolo-650 contains 650 mg of paracetamol
Dolo-650 contains 650 mg of paracetamol, which is much more than the usual 500 mg dose. This drug is manufactured by Micro Lab Limited and its demand suddenly increased during the Corona epidemic. It was used a lot to cure the side effects of the vaccine or mild fever.
According to a report, the sales of Dolo-650 reached record levels in the second wave of the Corona epidemic. It was even called India's favorite snack on social media. Now a doctor living in America has expressed concern at its widespread use.
Cases of acute liver failure and kidney disease are increasing rapidly
Doctors say that people are now using Dolo-650 like candy. It is also being taken without doctor's advice for headache, fatigue or stress. But excessive amounts of paracetamol can have a bad effect on the body, especially the liver. According to a medical report, cases of acute liver failure and kidney disease are increasing rapidly due to overdose of paracetamol worldwide.
Expert advice is necessary
Taking Dolo-650 repeatedly without doctor's advice can be dangerous for the body. It only suppresses the symptoms, does not cure the disease. Therefore, before taking any medicine, definitely consult an expert.
