Calpol 120mg Suspension Strawberry

Calpol 120mg Suspension Strawberry

Calpol 120mg Suspension Strawberry is a paediatric oral suspension manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals Limited, formulated with Paracetamol IP 120mg per 5ml to relieve pain and bring down fever in children. It works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that are responsible for pain and fever, offering effective relief from headache, toothache, body ache and high temperature. This strawberry-flavoured suspension comes with a measuring cup for accurate dosing, and the exact dose depends on the child’s age and body weight as advised by a paediatrician. Calpol 120mg Suspension should be given with food or milk to reduce the chance of an upset stomach, and the bottle should be shaken well before each use. If a dose is vomited within 30 minutes of giving it, the same dose may be repeated once the child has settled; redosing is not needed if vomiting occurs later. It is one of the most trusted paracetamol brands for children, valued for its pleasant flavour and reliable dosing accuracy. As with all paracetamol-based medicines, care must be taken not to combine it with any other paracetamol-containing product, and doses should never exceed four times in 24 hours, with a minimum gap of four to six hours between doses.
