Description
Xcel is a medication indicated for fever, common cold, influenza, headache, toothache, earache, bodyache, myalgia, neuralgia, dysmenorrhoea, sprains, colic pain, back pain, post-operative pain, postpartum pain, inflammatory pain, post-vaccination pain in children, rheumatic & osteoarthritic pain, and stiffness of joints. It has analgesic and antipyretic properties with weak anti-inflammatory activity. Xcel is contraindicated in known hypersensitivity to Paracetamol. Care should be advised in administration to patients with severe renal or severe hepatic impairment. The hazard of overdose is greater in those with non-cirrhotic alcoholic liver disease. Storage should be in a dry place away from light and heat, and out of the reach of children. It should be taken with food or milk to prevent upset stomach. Long term use may lead to serious complications such as stomach bleeding and kidney problems. Indigestion remedies (antacids) should not be taken within two hours of taking Xcel. Alcohol consumption while taking Xcel should be avoided as it can increase the risk of stomach problems. Patients with liver disease may need dose adjustments, and regular monitoring of kidney and liver function may be necessary during long-term treatment.
