Calpol Six Plus Sugar Free Suspension Sachets for Children's Pain Relief

 

You can rely on these convenient sachets to provide effective pain relief and fever reduction for your child aged six years and over. Each sachet contains paracetamol in a liquid suspension that's easy to administer without the need for measuring or mixing. The sugar-free formulation makes this suitable for children who need to avoid sugar in their diet.

The portable sachets are particularly useful when you're away from home or travelling, as they don't require refrigeration and can be given directly from the packet. This makes managing your child's discomfort more straightforward during school trips, holidays, or everyday activities.

 

How Paracetamol Works to Reduce Pain and Fever

 

Paracetamol works by blocking the production of prostaglandins in your child's brain, which are chemicals that cause pain and fever. This action helps to lower elevated body temperature and reduce discomfort from headaches, toothache, sore throats, and minor injuries.

The liquid suspension format allows for faster absorption compared to tablets, meaning your child may experience relief more quickly. The medicine reaches peak levels in the bloodstream within 30 to 60 minutes after administration, providing effective symptom management when your child needs it most.

 

Suitable for Children with Specific Dietary Requirements

 

These sachets are particularly beneficial for children who cannot have sugar due to diabetes, dental concerns, or dietary restrictions. The calpol six plus sugar free formulation maintains the same effectiveness as regular paracetamol whilst accommodating these specific needs.

This medicine is appropriate for children experiencing:

  • Headaches and general aches and pains
  • Fever associated with colds and flu
  • Toothache and teething discomfort
  • Post-vaccination fever and discomfort

The sachets are also suitable for children who have difficulty swallowing tablets or who dislike the taste of traditional liquid medicines. You can explore our full range of pain relief options to find the most suitable treatment for your family's needs.

 

Why Choose Sugar-Free Formulation for Your Child

 

The sugar-free formulation helps protect your child's dental health by avoiding unnecessary sugar exposure, particularly important when medicine needs to be given regularly during illness. This consideration becomes especially relevant for children who may already have compromised immune systems or those prone to dental issues.

Parents of children with diabetes can use this formulation with confidence, as it won't affect blood sugar levels in the same way that sugar-containing medicines might. The artificial sweeteners used are safe for children and provide a pleasant taste without the dental and metabolic concerns associated with sugar.

 

Storage and Shelf Life Considerations

 

You should store these sachets at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Unlike liquid bottles, individual sachets maintain their stability without refrigeration, making them ideal for keeping in your handbag, car, or child's school bag for emergency use.

Each sachet is sealed to maintain freshness and potency until opened. Once opened, the contents should be used immediately and not saved for later use. Always check the expiry date before administration and dispose of any expired sachets safely.

This product is a medicine. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using if you have an underlying medical condition or are taking other medicines.

 

Recommended Dosage for Children Aged Six and Over

You should give your child the contents of one sachet every four to six hours as needed, with a maximum of four sachets in any 24-hour period. Do not exceed this maximum daily dose, as this could lead to serious liver damage. Always leave at least four hours between doses to ensure safe administration.

The medicine can be given with or without food, though giving it with food may help reduce any potential stomach irritation. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of taking the dose, you may give another dose. However, if vomiting continues, seek medical advice before giving further doses.

How to Administer the Suspension Sachets

You can give the contents of the sachet directly into your child's mouth, or mix it with a small amount of water or juice if preferred. Tear open the sachet carefully and squeeze the contents onto a spoon or directly into your child's mouth. Ensure your child swallows all the medicine to receive the full dose.

If your child's symptoms persist for more than three days, or if fever continues beyond 24 hours, you should consult your doctor or pharmacist. Do not give this medicine for more than three consecutive days without medical advice, as prolonged use may mask underlying conditions that require professional treatment.

Understanding Potential Side Effects

Like all medicines, Calpol Six Plus Sugar Free Suspension Sachets can have side effects, although not everyone will experience them. Most children tolerate paracetamol well when given at the correct dose, but you should be aware of possible reactions. If your child experiences any concerning symptoms, you can find additional support through our baby and toddler healthcare section.

The most commonly reported side effects include mild stomach upset and occasional skin reactions. These typically resolve quickly and rarely require discontinuation of the medicine.

Possible side effects may include:

  • Nausea or stomach discomfort
  • Skin rash or itching
  • Allergic reactions such as swelling of face or throat
  • Difficulty breathing or wheezing
  • Unusual bruising or bleeding
  • Yellowing of skin or eyes
  • Dark urine or pale stools
  • Severe stomach pain
  • Loss of appetite lasting more than a day
  • Unusual tiredness or weakness
  • Blood disorders affecting white blood cells
  • Liver problems with prolonged use or overdose

If you experience these or any other side effects, speak to your doctor or pharmacist right away. For more information about reporting side effects please see the MHRA Yellow Card Scheme.
