Safety information

Who should not use it

Do not give this medicine to a child who has ever had a bad reaction to paracetamol or is allergic to any of the ingredients, or to a child who is already taking any other medicine containing paracetamol. Not recommended for children under 6 years - use a Calpol Infant suspension instead.

Warnings & precautions

Never give this alongside another paracetamol-containing medicine. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor first if your child has liver or kidney problems, or is taking the antibiotic flucloxacillin. Give the dose for your child's age and no more: an overdose of paracetamol can cause serious and irreversible liver damage, even if your child seems well at first. If your child accidentally takes too much, get medical help straight away.

Pregnancy & breastfeeding

This is a medicine for children. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding and looking for paracetamol for yourself, ask your pharmacist which product to use.

Possible side effects

Side effects are uncommon. Allergic reactions can occur, and very rarely serious skin reactions or changes in the blood. Stop giving it and get medical help straight away if your child develops a rash, blistering or peeling skin, swelling of the face or throat, or difficulty breathing.

Always read the label

This is a medicine. Always read the label and patient information leaflet before use. If symptoms persist, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.

Each 5ml of oral suspension contains paracetamol 250mg. Sugar and colour free.
