What Experts Say

Paracetamol lowers fever by acting on the brain's temperature regulating center and relieves pain by reducing chemicals in the body that trigger pain signals. It is considered one of the safest fever medicines for infants and children when dosed correctly by weight.

Pediatricians in Pakistan recommend always using the syringe or cup that comes with Disprol, since a regular kitchen spoon can lead to inaccurate, sometimes dangerous dosing. The interval between doses should not be shorter than four hours, and no more than four doses should be given in 24 hours without medical advice.

Parents should check the ingredients of any other cold, flu, or teething product given alongside Disprol, since many already contain paracetamol. Giving two paracetamol products together is a common but avoidable cause of accidental overdose in children.

Drug Interactions
