Whether you’re dealing with teething pain or post-vaccination fever, this 200ml bottle provides you with a larger supply of this trusted solution to keep your little one feeling comfortable.

Calpol Infant Suspension is a liquid paracetamol medication designed to relieve pain and reduce fever in children aged 2 months and older. The sugar-free formula makes it a gentle option for babies, and it’s commonly used for symptoms like teething pain, sore throats, colds, and fevers following immunisations.

Calpol Infant Suspension works by reducing the body’s production of chemicals that cause pain and fever. This helps lower your child’s temperature and relieves discomfort, making them feel more at ease. It’s a fast-acting solution, usually starting to work in just 15 minutes.

The active ingredient is paracetamol, with 120mg per 5ml dose. The sugar-free formula includes sweeteners and flavourings to make it easier for babies to take. It’s free from artificial colours, making it a gentler option for sensitive stomachs.

For babies aged 2–3 months, you can give a 2.5ml dose once, and another after 4–6 hours if necessary.

For children aged 3 months to 6 years, the dosage increases based on age and weight, so be sure to follow the instructions on the packaging.

Use the provided syringe or spoon for accurate dosing. Do not give more than the stated dose, and if your child’s symptoms persist, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Calpol Infant Suspension Sugar-Free is suitable for babies and children aged 2 months and older, provided your baby weighs over 4kg. It’s perfect for reducing fever and soothing discomfort from common issues like teething, colds, or post-immunisation fever. If your child was born prematurely or has other medical conditions, it’s important to speak to your doctor before using Calpol.

Calpol (paracetamol) can interact with various medications, and it's important to be aware of these potential interactions:

• Immunosuppressants (such as tacrolimus and cyclosporine): When used in combination with high doses of paracetamol, these medications could raise the risk of kidney damage.
• Metoclopramide and domperidone: These anti-nausea medications can speed up the absorption of paracetamol, potentially leading to stronger or faster effects.
• Other products containing paracetamol: Taking multiple medications that include paracetamol (such as certain cold and flu treatments) along with Calpol could lead to an unintentional overdose.
• Blood thinners (anticoagulants): Medicines like warfarin could raise the risk of bleeding if used alongside long-term or high doses of paracetamol.
• Drugs that induce liver enzymes: Medications such as carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital, and rifampicin might increase the breakdown of paracetamol in the liver, reducing its effectiveness or increasing the likelihood of liver damage.
• Cholestyramine: This cholesterol-lowering medication may decrease the absorption of paracetamol, making it less effective.
• Probenecid: This gout treatment can slow down the elimination of paracetamol, increasing the likelihood of side effects.
• Alcohol: Drinking alcohol while using paracetamol can heighten the chances of liver damage, especially when taking higher doses.

Calpol is generally safe to use alongside other medications, but always check with your healthcare provider if your child is taking anything else. Paracetamol can interact with some medicines, so it’s important to get professional advice if you’re unsure.
