Is Swollen Eyes And Stomach Ache A Side Effect Of Hifenac-P Intake?

Hi, I was prescribed Hifenac-P (containing 100mg of Aceclofenac and 650mg of Paracetamol) for a complaint of 100 degree fever. Now I have swollen eyes and upset stomach. Also, feeling sleepy for most of the time. I had around 8 tablets in the past 3 days. Is this a known side effect? what should I do now? Thanks.

Hi,

Hifenac p is known to cause drowsiness and abdominal discomfort as side effects.

The tablet is prescribed generally twice daily which is sufficient for your symptoms. You had consumed 8 tablets which is a little higher dose.

This could be the reason for your side effects. If you have experienced any allergic skin reaction, please discontinue the drug and opt for other group of painkillers such as diclofenac. If not you can continue with hifenac p along with antacids.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Saranya Ramadoss, General & Family Physician
