Sumo L 120 Suspension Strawberry

Sumo L 120 Suspension Strawberry

Sumo L 120 Suspension Strawberry is a paracetamol-based oral suspension manufactured and marketed by Alkem Laboratories Ltd, specially formulated for infants and young children to relieve pain and bring down fever. Each 5ml contains Paracetamol IP 120mg in a flavoured syrupy base with Carmoisine as the colouring agent and a pleasant strawberry flavour that makes it easy to administer to children. Paracetamol, also called Acetaminophen, is one of the most widely trusted medicines for mild to moderate pain and fever in children, working by blocking the chemical messengers in the brain that trigger pain signals and raise body temperature. Sumo L 120 Suspension Strawberry is commonly used to treat headache, toothache, body aches and fever caused by common childhood infections such as cold and flu, and is often given alongside or after vaccination to manage post-vaccination fever and discomfort. The suspension is given orally using the measuring cap or dropper provided, and the bottle should be shaken well before each use to ensure the medicine is evenly mixed. Sumo L 120 Suspension Strawberry can be given with or without food, though giving it after a feed may help reduce the small chance of stomach upset in sensitive infants. The dose depends on the child’s age and body weight, so it should always be given strictly as directed by the paediatrician, using the age-wise dosage chart printed on the pack as a general guide only. Sumo L 120 Suspension Strawberry is generally well tolerated by children, but giving more than the recommended dose, or combining it with other paracetamol-containing products, can lead to serious liver damage or allergic reactions such as swelling of the face, mouth or throat, itching or rash. Parents should always check the ingredients of any other cold, fever or pain medicine before giving it alongside this suspension, and should consult a doctor if fever persists beyond a couple of days or the child appears unusually unwell. Supplied as a 60ml bottle, it should be stored below 30°C and protected from light.
