Calpol Paediatric Drops Peppermint

Calpol Paediatric Drops Peppermint

Calpol Paediatric Drops Peppermint is an oral suspension manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals Limited, formulated with Paracetamol IP 100mg/ml to relieve pain and bring down fever in infants and young 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 aches and high temperature. This peppermint-flavoured suspension is designed for easy dosing with the enclosed dropper and is intended for children from 1 to 11 months, with the exact dose depending on the child’s age and body weight as advised by a paediatrician. Calpol Paediatric Drops 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. It is one of the most trusted paracetamol brands for infants, valued for its gentle formulation and reliable dosing accuracy via the dropper mechanism. 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 hours between doses.
