Infant’s & Children’s Paracetamol Galpharm Healthcare (Paracetamol)

Paracetamol reduces pain and fever by inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes in the central nervous system, which lowers prostaglandin production. This action decreases the brain’s perception of pain and resets the hypothalamic set‑point for body temperature, providing analgesic and antipyretic effects.

The appropriate dose is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the child’s age, weight, and clinical condition. Caregivers should follow the prescriber’s instructions and use the provided measuring device to ensure accurate dosing.

Paracetamol is generally considered compatible with pregnancy and breastfeeding when used at recommended doses, but safety information is limited for infants and children. The prescriber should evaluate the risk‑benefit profile for each individual case.

Paracetamol offers analgesic and antipyretic effects with a lower risk of gastrointestinal irritation compared with ibuprofen. It does not have significant anti‑inflammatory activity, making it suitable for children who may be sensitive to NSAIDs, while still providing effective fever control.

Store the product below 25 °C in its original container, protecting it from moisture, direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the cap is tightly closed to maintain stability and potency.

The oral liquid is administered by measuring the prescribed dose with the supplied dosing syringe or cup and giving it directly into the mouth. It can be taken with or without food, according to the prescriber’s guidance.

The most serious risk is hepatotoxicity, especially with overdose or when combined with other liver‑affecting substances. Rare severe allergic reactions such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome or anaphylaxis may also occur and require immediate medical attention.

Children with known hypersensitivity to paracetamol or any excipients in the formulation should avoid it. It is also contraindicated in cases of severe liver disease or when a prescriber has identified a specific medical reason to withhold paracetamol.
