You can trust this calpol infant suspension to provide gentle relief from fever and pain in babies and young children from 2 months old.

This infant paracetamol suspension has been specially developed for babies and toddlers, with a pleasant strawberry flavour that makes administration easier for parents and more acceptable for children. The liquid format ensures quick absorption and faster relief compared to solid dosage forms.

How Paracetamol Works to Reduce Fever and Pain

Paracetamol works by blocking the production of prostaglandins in the brain, which are chemicals that cause pain and fever. When your child has a fever, their body temperature rises as part of the immune response to infection. This medicine helps to lower their temperature back to normal levels whilst also providing pain relief.

The suspension format allows for rapid absorption through the digestive system, typically beginning to work within 30 minutes of administration. The effects can last for up to 4-6 hours, providing sustained relief from discomfort.

Suitable for Infants and Young Children

This baby fever medicine is specifically formulated for children aged 2 months to 6 years, making it an essential item for your medicine cabinet. The sugar-free formulation makes it suitable for children who need to avoid added sugars, including those with diabetes or dental concerns.

The medicine is appropriate for treating various childhood conditions including:

• Fever associated with colds and flu
• Post-vaccination fever and discomfort
• Teething pain and irritability
• General aches and pains from minor illnesses

Benefits of Sugar-Free Formulation

The sugar-free formula provides the same effective relief as traditional formulations whilst being gentler on developing teeth. This makes it particularly suitable for regular use during teething periods or recurring childhood illnesses. The absence of added sugars also means it's appropriate for children following special diets or those with specific dietary requirements.

Parents can feel confident giving this medicine without concerns about contributing to tooth decay or providing unnecessary sugars to their child's diet. The pleasant strawberry flavour is achieved through artificial sweeteners that are safe for children.

Storage and Shelf Life Considerations

You should store this suspension at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children. Once opened, the medicine remains effective for the duration stated on the packaging, typically 3 years from manufacture date. Always check the expiry date before use and dispose of any expired medicine safely at your local pharmacy.

The included measuring syringe should be cleaned after each use and stored with the bottle. This ensures accurate dosing and maintains hygiene standards for your child's safety.
