is dolo 650 and paracetamol same - #28586

Vedant

I am really confused about these medications. I’ve been dealing with a nasty fever for a few days, and my friend told me to take Dolo 650. I went to the pharmacy and asked for it, but I started thinking, is Dolo 650 and paracetamol same? Like, I know that Dolo is marketed under that name in my country, but are they actually the same thing? I took one last night and felt a little better, but I’m still not sure why my doctor didn’t mention it when I went in. My mom always says to stick to paracetamol for fevers, and now that I’m looking at the labels, they both have the same ingredient. But if is Dolo 650 and paracetamol same, why would I even need to be prescribed one over the other? Since I also have this annoying headache on top of the fever, I’m just trying to figure out if I should keep taking Dolo 650 or switch to straight-up paracetamol if that what they are. Can anyone help clarify this for me? Or do they have different dosages or something that I might not know about? It's all a bit overwhelming, you know?
