How to use

Panadol for Children is for relief from fever and pain. Each 5 ml contains 120 mg Paracetamol B.P. It is best to calculate the dose, based on the weight of your child. Calculate the dose at 15 mg/kg/dose. The maximum daily dose is 60 mg/kg/24 hrs. The liquid could be given 4-6 hourly, up to a maximum of 4 doses per 24 hrs. Do not give any other preparation containing paracetamol at the same time, to prevent over dosage. If you are not sure, please check with the doctor/pharmacist.

Do not give adult Panadol tablets to children under the age of 3 years. If you are not sure of the child's weight, please refer to the chart below for the correct dosage.

Use measuring cup for correct dosing. Always dose by body weight of the child.
