CALPOL SIX PLUS suspension s/f 250mg/5ml 200ml

Calpol 6 Plus can ease pain from headaches, toothaches, sore throats, earaches, and muscle aches. It also treats post-immunisation fever and high temperatures from infections.

When using the dosing syringe, make sure you don't exceed the maximum amount for your child's age:

Teens Aged Between 12-16: 10 to 15 ml up to four times daily.

Children Aged 8-10: 7.5ml up to four times daily.

Children Aged 6-8: 5ml up to four times daily.

Children Aged 10-12: 10ml up to four times daily.

Over 16: Between 10 to 20 ml up to four times daily.

No, Calpol 6 Plus isn't suitable for kids under 6 years old, as it contains over twice the strength of Calpol Infant Suspension. Younger children should always use the Infant Suspension, which is a safer option as it doesn't contain as much paracetamol.

Calpol 6 Plus usually begins to work within 15 to 30 minutes, and the effects can last up to four hours.

Please ask your healthcare professional before taking Calpol 6 Plus while you're using other medicines. If your child's taking anything else that contains paracetamol, it can result in an overdose.

If you give your child too much Calpol, it's vital to seek immediate medical advice. Even if there are no instant symptoms, paracetamol overdoses can cause long-term organ damage.

Yes, adults and children over 12 can take Calpol 6 Plus, following the dosage on the label. Even though Calpol can be beneficial for adults, it's usually best to take a medicine formulated for adults to ensure optimal symptom relief.
