Let’s be honest: if there’s one medicine that deserves a permanent spot in every Indian household, it’s Dolo 650. Fever? Dolo. Cold? Dolo. Body ache? Dolo. Just feeling off? Pop a Dolo. From moms to millennials, it’s the OG cure-all that magically makes you feel better, even if you don’t know what’s wrong. It’s practically our unofficial national pill.
So, when US-based doctor Dr. Palaniappan Manickam wrote on X that, “Indians take Dolo 650 like it’s Cadbury Gems,” the internet exploded.
