Question : Hi , Could I take Dolo 650(paracetamol),to bring down fever when I am starting on Penicillin 500 VK for streptococcal pharyngitis(034.0)
Brief Answer:
Sure... You can take Dolo 650
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
You can take paracetamol tablets to bring down fever along with penicillin. Paracetamol has no interactions with penicillin and can be safely taken. I hope you do not have any allergy towards penicillin or paracetamol.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.
