Brief Answer:
Safe. Side effects unlikely. Can be used long term without worrying.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

Dolo 650 contains paracetamol which is a very safe medicine and can be used safely for prolonged durations without any worries. I would not expect any serious side effects. It may affect kidney or liver to some extent when used for many years (usualy 20 years or more).

Usually 500 mg or 650 mg upto 3-4 times is taken. But if half dose is sufficing, you can continue with it. Rather than regular dosing, use it off and on as needed. Also use hot compress. Taking juicy fruits like citrus fruits should help.

Let me know if I could help further.
