Hi,
Saridon is a painkiller medicine that contains three active ingredients:
paracetamol, propyphenazone, and caffeine. It is usually used to relieve mild to moderate
headaches, fever, and pain. However, it is not recommended to take more than two tablets at a time, and the maximum dose should not exceed six tablets in 24 hours.
Taking more than the recommended dose of Saridon can lead to serious side effects such as
liver damage,
kidney damage, stomach ulcers, and even death. In addition, taking Saridon for a prolonged period can lead to rebound headaches, making your headache worse.
If you are experiencing frequent headaches that are not relieved by one or two Saridon tablets, it is important to consult a doctor. They can help determine the underlying cause of your headaches and recommend the appropriate treatment. It is also important to follow the recommended dosage and frequency of Saridon use to avoid potential health risks.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
