How does Calpol Six Plus work?
Calpol Six Plus contains a small dose of a common painkiller called paracetamol - 250mg per 5ml.
While the exact mechanism of paracetamol is not fully understood, paracetamol is effective at relieving mild pain, such as tension headaches and earache, and reducing fevers which often occur during bouts of the flu.
How to take Calpol Six Plus?
The recommended dosage of Calpol Six Plus depends upon the age of the child.
Calpol Six Plus should not be given to children under 6 years old. If your child is under 6, Calpol Infant may be more suitable. Ask a doctor or pharmacist for advice.
| Age | Dosage |
|---|---|
| Children under 6 years | Not recommended |
| 6 - 8 years | 5ml up to 4 times in 24 hours |
| 8 - 10 years | 7.5ml up to 4 times in 24 hours |
| 10 - 12 years | 10ml up to 4 times in 24 hours |
Before giving Calpol to your child, make sure to shake the bottle for 10 seconds before measuring out the required dose.
Use a measuring spoon or syringe to administer the right dose of Calpol Six Plus suspension. Using a kitchen spoon may result in too high or too low of a dose.
If you are using Sachets, massage the sachet to mix the medicine before administering it to your child.
Do not give your child this medicine for more than 3 days without first consulting your doctor for advice.
