paracetamol and dolo are same - #28005
I am trying to understand if paracetamol and dolo are same because ever since I started feeling this horrible headache that just won't go away, I've been taking what's available, and I found some dolo in my medicine cabinet. I saw that it has paracetamol in it, but then I started thinkin, are they really the same thing? Like, am I just doubling up on stuff if I took both? My friend told me that paracetamol is the generic name or something like that, which kinda made sense... but then there’s those packs of dolo I see everywhere and I can't help wonderin if there’s any difference at all. Also, I’ve taken dolo for fever and pain before but sometimes I feel like my headache gets worse after. Is that a thing? Could it maybe be too much paracetamol that's doin that or the fact that I’m mixing brands without realizing they're basically the same? I don’t wanna mess up my health by not knowing if paracetamol and dolo are same, ya know? Anyway, I really hope someone can clear this up because I'm super confused right now and I've got a busy week ahead.
