Paracetamol (250mg/5ml)

Overview Pyrakem P 250mg/5ml Syrup

Paracetamol syrup (250mg/5ml), a common analgesic and antipyretic, effectively reduces pain and fever in children. It's used to manage symptoms such as headaches, toothaches, muscle aches, fever, and the common cold. Administer orally, ideally at the same time daily. While it can be taken with or without food, post-meal administration is preferred to minimize potential stomach irritation. Dosage and duration are determined by your child's age, weight, and illness severity; strictly adhere to your doctor's instructions. If vomiting occurs within 30 minutes, allow your child to settle and repeat the dose; otherwise, avoid redosing. Avoid combining this syrup with other paracetamol-containing medications (including many cold, flu, and pain remedies) to prevent overdose and potentially serious liver damage (hepatotoxicity). Always review the ingredients of any concomitant medications. Generally well-tolerated, minor side effects like upset stomach, nausea, or vomiting may rarely occur. Consult your physician if these persist. While usually safe and effective, this medication may not be suitable for all children. Disclose any blood disorders, allergies, birth defects, liver problems, or kidney issues to your doctor to ensure appropriate dosage and suitability.
