What Experts Say

Pediatricians consider paracetamol suspensions a first line option for reducing fever and easing mild pain in school age children. Its long safety record makes it a preferred choice compared to many other pain relieving medicines in this age group, especially for routine childhood fevers.

Correct dosing by body weight matters more than age alone, since giving too little limits relief while giving too much raises the risk of liver strain. Pharmacists generally recommend using the measuring device that comes with the bottle rather than a household spoon, which is rarely accurate for young children.

Health experts advise caregivers to check other medicines a child is taking before giving this suspension, since paracetamol is a common ingredient in combination cold and flu products. Doubling up unknowingly is one of the more frequent causes of accidental overdose in children each year across the country.

Drug Interactions

• Warfarin: Regular high dose use over several days may enhance the blood thinning effect of warfarin.
• Other paracetamol containing products: Combining this suspension with other cold, flu or pain products containing paracetamol raises the risk of accidental overdose.
• Carbamazepine and phenytoin: These anti-seizure medicines can reduce the effectiveness of paracetamol and raise the risk of liver strain at high doses.

• Overdose risk: Accidental double dosing from other cold or flu products containing paracetamol is a common and serious risk.
• Children under six years: This particular strength is formulated for children above six years, so younger children need a different product.
• Dehydration: A dehydrated or malnourished child may be more sensitive to liver related side effects.
