Adol 250mg/5ml Paracetamol Pain & Fever Relief Suspension Syrup for Children, 100ml

Adol 250mg/5ml Paracetamol Suspension provides a higher-concentration pediatric Paracetamol formulation for children aged 6 to 12 years who have outgrown the 120mg/5ml infant concentration. At 250mg per 5ml, the volume required for each dose is smaller and the dose more precisely matched to the weight of older children, reducing the chance of under-dosing at body weights where the lower concentration formula would require large and impractical volumes. The suspension remains pleasant-tasting for children in this age group who may still prefer liquid over tablets.

Specs

• Active ingredient: Paracetamol 250mg per 5ml
• Form: Oral suspension
• Volume: 100ml
• Age: Children 6 to 12 years
• Action: Analgesic / Antipyretic
• Dosing: Weight-based - refer to dosing table

Benefits

• The 250mg/5ml concentration is appropriate for the higher body weights of 6 to 12-year-old children - the 120mg/5ml infant formula would require impractically large volumes for a child weighing 20-30kg, making this concentration both more practical and more accurate
• Paracetamol remains the safest first-choice analgesic and antipyretic for children in this age group, with no NSAID-related risks of gastric irritation, platelet effects, or bronchospasm that complicate Ibuprofen use in children with certain underlying conditions
• Effective for the range of pain conditions that school-age children commonly experience - sore throat, earache, dental pain, headache, period pain in older girls, and the musculoskeletal aches of viral infections
• The liquid format continues to be useful for children who resist swallowing tablets, or where the onset of action benefits from the faster absorption of a solution compared to a solid tablet
• 100ml provides sufficient volume for approximately 5 to 7 days of four-times-daily use at typical child doses - enough for a complete febrile illness episode with some remaining for unexpected follow-on use

How to Use
