Description
Calpol Syrup 6+ 80ml is a pediatric medication containing paracetamol as the active ingredient. It is used to relieve mild to moderate pain and reduce fever in children aged six years and older.
Paracetamol is classified as an analgesic and antipyretic. It works by blocking the production of prostaglandins in the brain, substances that cause pain and fever, thus helping to alleviate these symptoms.
The syrup form is intended for easy administration to children. Dosage is based on the child’s age and weight, typically given every 4 to 6 hours as needed, with a maximum daily dose not to be exceeded. For children aged six years and above, dosing instructions are provided on the packaging or by a healthcare professional.
Side effects are uncommon but may include allergic reactions such as rash. Overdose can lead to severe liver damage, so it is important to adhere strictly to the recommended dosage and avoid using other paracetamol-containing products simultaneously.
The syrup is for oral use only and should be used as directed.
