Panadol Children's Paracetamol Elixir Raspberry Flavor (5-12 Years), 100ml

Panadol Children's Paracetamol Elixir for ages 5 to 12 years delivers the trusted antipyretic and analgesic action of Panadol in a raspberry-flavored oral liquid that most children find palatable. The liquid format allows dose calculation based on the child's current weight, which is more accurate than age-based dosing for growing children whose weight can vary significantly within any age band. It is the appropriate Panadol formulation for school-age children who have outgrown infant drops and suspensions but may not yet accept tablet formulations.

Benefits

• Panadol's well-established paracetamol formula provides effective fever reduction and pain relief for school-age children, addressing the headaches, sore throats, earaches, and body aches that frequently accompany childhood viral infections
• The raspberry flavour is well-accepted by most school-age children who may resist medicine with an unpleasant taste, improving the likelihood that the complete dose is taken and retained
• The 250mg per 5ml concentration allows accurate weight-based dosing that grows with the child - a 20kg child requires a different dose than a 30kg child even within the 5 to 12-year age range, and the liquid format facilitates this precision
• Panadol's pharmaceutical quality standards ensure consistent concentration and stability throughout the product's shelf life, providing confidence in the dose delivered to children at every administration
• The 100ml bottle provides sufficient volume for multiple doses over a typical illness episode, with the measured oral syringe ensuring accurate dosing at each administration
