Hi.. Meftal -P you heard right. But I suggest you do not give ur as it contains Mefenamic acid which is an NSAID...it might cause gastritis & renal problems in children. I suggest tiu use only plain paracetamol & not combinations & that too in appropriate dose. Happy to help anytime. If my answer has helped you...kindly rate it.
