YOUR CHILD’S MEDICINE AT A GLANCE

Calpol Pediatric Drops Peppermint is a widely prescribed medicine that helps relieve pain and reduce high body temperature (fever). In young children, it treats conditions such as headache, toothache, body aches, fever and common cold.

Calpol Pediatric Drops Peppermint is given orally at the same time every day. Although this medicine can be taken before or after food, it is better to give it after eating because it can irritate the lining of the empty stomach. The dose and duration will depend on your child's age, body weight and the severity of the infection, so follow the dose, time and regimen prescribed by your child's doctor. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of taking the medication, allow the child to calm down and repeat the same dose. If your child vomits more than 30 minutes after taking a dose, re-administration is not recommended.

Do not let your child take Calpol Pediatric Drops Peppermint with paracetamol with other medicines (many cold and flu medicines and other painkillers), as this can lead to overdose and dangerous side effects such as hepatotoxicity (liver damage). Always check the ingredients of any other medication before giving it to your child along with this medication.

Generally, this medication is well tolerated by children. However, temporary side effects such as indigestion, nausea and vomiting may occur in some children. If these episodes become bothersome for your child, consult your doctor.

This medication is often considered safe and effective but may not be suitable for everyone. Tell your doctor if your child is being treated for a blood-related disorder, is allergic to a medicinal compound, or has a birth defect, liver impairment, or kidney function. This will help your child's doctor better assess the dosage and appropriateness of this medicine.
