Kinderparacetamol Zetpil Livsane (Paracetamol)

Paracetamol works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes in the central nervous system, which reduces the production of prostaglandins. Lower prostaglandin levels diminish the perception of pain and help reset the body’s temperature set‑point, thereby lowering fever.

The appropriate dose is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the child’s age, weight, and clinical condition. The prescriber will select the correct number and frequency of suppositories to achieve safe and effective therapy.

The safety of paracetamol suppositories in pregnancy and lactation has not been fully established. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should discuss use with their healthcare provider, who can weigh potential benefits against any unknown risks.

Compared with oral paracetamol formulations, the rectal suppository offers an alternative when swallowing is difficult or when rapid absorption is desired. Unlike ibuprofen, paracetamol has minimal anti‑inflammatory activity, which may be advantageous for children with gastric sensitivity.

Store the suppositories at room temperature, below 25 °C, in the original packaging. Protect them from moisture and direct sunlight to maintain stability and ensure the dosage form remains intact until use.

The suppository is inserted rectally, preferably after a bowel movement, using a gloved finger or an applicator if provided. The child should remain lying down for a few minutes to allow the suppository to melt and be absorbed.

Serious risks include severe skin reactions such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome, hepatic injury especially with overdose, and rare allergic reactions like anaphylaxis. Prompt medical attention is required if any of these symptoms appear.

Children with known hypersensitivity to paracetamol or any component of the suppository should avoid it. It is also contraindicated in infants younger than two months and in patients with severe liver disease unless specifically directed by a physician.
