Can Dolo 650 And Crocin 650 Be Given For Fever?
Brief Answer:
less than the total amount allowed for the day
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Dolo 650 and crocin 650 both contain acetaminophen at 650 mg strength
The maximum total daily dose of acetaminophen is 4000 mg according to the FDA.
This is not taken at once but divided throughout a 24 hour period.
He would have used a total of 1300 mg (the two 650 mg doses), though this is higher what it is normally used at one time (used for one dose), it is lower than the TOTAL amount that is allowed for a 24 hour period
This means that he should be fine, but should not take any more for at least 4 to 6 hours.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
