Sumo-L DS Suspension

Sumo-L DS Suspension

Sumo-L DS Suspension is a paediatric pain-relieving and fever-reducing oral suspension manufactured and marketed by Alkem Laboratories Ltd, formulated with Paracetamol IP 250mg per 5ml in a strawberry-flavoured syrupy base. It works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers called prostaglandins in the brain that are responsible for triggering pain signals and raising body temperature during fever. This makes Sumo-L DS Suspension an effective and reliable option for treating headache, toothache, body aches, fever and the common cold in children. The pleasant strawberry flavour makes it easy to give to children who may otherwise resist taking medicine, and the liquid format allows for precise, weight-based dosing using a measuring cup. Sumo-L DS Suspension can be given with or without food, though giving it after food is generally preferred as it helps reduce the chance of the medicine irritating the lining of an empty stomach. Relief from pain and fever is usually noticeable within a short time of dosing, helping the child feel more comfortable while the underlying illness runs its course. Dosing should always follow the child’s age and body weight as guided by the age-wise dosage chart on the pack or as directed by the treating physician, since paracetamol dosing in children needs to be more precise than in adults. Parents should never give this suspension alongside any other paracetamol-containing cold, flu or pain-relief product, as combining them can lead to an accidental overdose and increase the risk of liver damage. Sumo-L DS Suspension is supplied in a 60ml bottle and should be shaken well before each use.
