Pain-Gesic Oral

Pain-Gesic Oral Uses

This combination medication is used to treat mild pain (e.g., headache, backache, muscle pain, cold/flu aches and pains) and to reduce fever. Acetaminophen helps to decrease the pain and fever. Phenyltoloxamine is an antihistamine that helps to decrease symptoms of a cold such as a runny nose.

How To Use Pain-Gesic Oral

Take this medication by mouth with or without food, usually every 4 hours or as directed by your doctor. To make sure you have the correct dose, measure the liquid medication with a dose-measuring spoon or device, not a household spoon.

The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to therapy. Pain medications work best if they are used as the first signs of pain occur. If you wait until the symptoms have worsened, the medication may not work as well.

This medication contains acetaminophen. Do not take more acetaminophen than recommended. (See also Side Effects and Precautions sections.)

Inform your doctor if your condition persists or worsens. For pain, do not take this product for more than 5 days for children and 10 days for adults. For fever, do not take this product for more than 3 days unless directed by your doctor.
