General information about paracetamol

Paracetamol can relieve pain and help a child who is uncomfortable with a high temperature. The suitable dose depends on the formulation, the child’s age and sometimes their weight. Ask a doctor or pharmacist to confirm the correct instructions for this exact concentration.

Paravis 250: use and safety checks

Shake the suspension as directed on its label. Measure each dose with a suitable medicine syringe or measuring spoon. Follow the prescribed amount and interval. Do not give another medicine containing paracetamol at the same time, including some cold and flu products.

Seek medical advice immediately if more than the recommended amount is given. Do not wait for symptoms. Ask a clinician before use if the child has liver or kidney problems or has previously reacted to paracetamol. Get urgent help for breathing difficulty or swelling of the mouth or throat.
