Kinderparacetamol Sam (Paracetamol)

Paracetamol works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes in the central nervous system, which decreases the production of prostaglandins that mediate pain and regulate body temperature. This central inhibition provides analgesic and antipyretic effects without strong peripheral anti‑inflammatory activity.

The appropriate dose is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the child’s age, weight, and clinical condition. No fixed regimen is provided here; the prescriber will specify the exact amount and frequency.

Safety data for rectal paracetamol in pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should only be used if clearly needed and after consultation with a qualified healthcare provider, who will weigh potential benefits against any possible risks.

Both paracetamol and ibuprofen relieve pain and fever, but ibuprofen also has anti‑inflammatory properties. Paracetamol is generally gentler on the stomach and preferred when anti‑inflammatory action is not required, whereas ibuprofen may be chosen for conditions involving inflammation.

Store the product at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Keep it away from moisture, direct sunlight and excessive heat to maintain stability and potency.

The medication is given rectally. The appropriate dose, as prescribed, is inserted into the rectum using the supplied applicator or a clean, dry finger, ensuring the child remains in a comfortable position for proper absorption.

Serious risks include severe liver injury, especially with overdose or in patients with pre‑existing liver disease, and rare but life‑threatening skin reactions such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome. Prompt medical attention is required if signs of these conditions appear.

Children with known hypersensitivity to paracetamol or any excipients in the formulation should avoid it. It is also contraindicated in patients with severe hepatic impairment or those taking other medications that markedly increase the risk of liver toxicity.
