A painkiller and fever reducer for infants and children containing Paracetamol at 100 mg/ml. Easy to use with accurate dosing via graduated dropper. 15 ml bottle.
Fever from infections and vaccinations, teething pain, headache, ear/throat pain, and mild to moderate pain relief.
Paracetamol inhibits prostaglandin production in the CNS, reducing fever and pain. Safe for children/infants at recommended doses without stomach irritation.
Given orally via dropper. Dose: 10-15 mg/kg every 4-6 hours. Max 4-5 doses daily. Can be given directly or mixed with water/juice. Consult a doctor for infants under 3 months.
Do not exceed the recommended dose. Do not combine with other paracetamol products. Consult a doctor if the fever persists beyond 3 days. Keep out of children's reach. Consult a doctor for infants under 3 months.
Drops are more concentrated (100 mg/ml vs 120 mg/5 ml syrup), suitable for smaller infants needing less liquid. Syrup suits older children. Both contain the same active ingredient.
