Frequently asked questions
Can I take Dolo 650 on an empty stomach?
Yes. Paracetamol does not irritate the stomach the way painkillers like ibuprofen do, so you can take Dolo 650 with or without food. Taking it with water is enough.
Can I take Dolo 650 with alcohol?
It is best not to. Alcohol and paracetamol both put a load on the liver, and regular heavy drinking combined with paracetamol can cause serious liver damage. If you have had alcohol, wait before taking it and never exceed the daily limit.
How many Dolo 650 tablets can I take in a day?
Do not take more than 4 tablets of 650 mg in 24 hours, spaced at least 4 to 6 hours apart. Many Indian doctors recommend staying at 3 tablets a day for an average adult. More than this risks liver damage.
Is Dolo 650 safe in pregnancy?
Paracetamol is the usual first choice for fever and pain in pregnancy, taken at the lowest dose for the shortest time. Still, check with your doctor, especially if you need it for more than a day or two.
