Calpol Six Plus Fastmelts are a convenient and easy way to give paracetamol to children. They are also a good pain relief option for children who have difficulty swallowing tablets or don't like pain relief in sticky liquid form.

Calpol six plus fast melts are strawberry flavoured tablets that will melt on the tongue dissolving into a pleasant tasting paste. They contain the active ingredient paracetamol to bring down high temperature and relieve pain fast. They're suitable for children aged six and over.

Calpol Six Plus Fastmelts are strawberry flavoured paracetamol tablets. Paracetamol is a pain reliever and fever reducer that works by blocking the production of prostaglandins, chemicals that cause pain and inflammation.

This is a safe and effective medication for most people, but it is important to follow the dosage instructions carefully.

The active ingredient in Calpol Six Plus Fastmelts is paracetamol (250mg per tablet). The other ingredients are:

• Mannitol (E421)
• Crospovidone
• Aspartame (E951)
• Magnesium stearate
• Strawberry flavouring

To use Calpol Six Plus Fastmelts, simply place a tablet on your child's tongue and allow it to dissolve. The tablet will start to dissolve immediately and your child should be able to swallow the saliva without any difficulty.

Calpol Six Plus Fastmelts should not be given to children under 6 years of age or to children who are allergic to paracetamol. If your child is taking anything else containing paracetamol, do not give them this medication.

If you have any questions or concerns about the ingredients in Calpol Six Plus Fastmelts, please talk to your doctor or pharmacist.

Children from 6 years to adults:

• 6-9 years: 1 tablet up to 4 times daily.
• 9-12 years: 2 tablets up to 4 times daily.
• 12-16 years: 2-3 tablets up to 4 times daily.
• Adults and children over 16 years: 2-4 tablets up to 4 times daily.

Calpol Six Plus Fastmelts typically start to work within 15-30 minutes. The paracetamol in the tablets is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream and starts to block the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals that cause pain and inflammation.

The effects usually last for 4-6 hours. However, this can vary depending on your child's metabolism and the severity of their pain or fever.

If your child's symptoms do not improve after 30 minutes, you can give them another dose of Calpol Six Plus Fastmelts. However, follow the dosage instructions carefully and do not exceed the maximum daily dose for their age.
