This newly uploaded syrup is commercially known as Panadol Baby & Infant, manufactured by GSK. Its active pharmaceutical ingredient is Paracetamol (Acetaminophen), formulated at a pediatric strength of $120\text{ mg}$ per $5\text{ mL}$, and it is completely Sugar-free.Here is your comprehensive guide to its uses and standard dosages:1. What is Panadol Baby & Infant used for?This medication is specifically designed for infants and young children to provide:Fever Reduction (Antipyretic): Effectively lowers high body temperatures caused by common colds, flu, upper respiratory infections, teething, or childhood immunizations (post-vaccination fever).Pain Relief (Analgesic): Quickly relieves mild-to-moderate pediatric discomfort, such as teething pains, sore throats, earaches, and minor headaches.2. Dosage Guide (Adults & Children)⚠️ Critical Rules for Administration:Frequency: Can be administered every 4 to 6 hours as needed.Maximum Daily Limit: Absolutely do not exceed 4 doses within any 24-hour period.Weight over Age: It is always safest and highly recommended to determine the exact dose based on your child's weight rather than their age.Standard age and weight guidelines for this infant formula ($120\text{ mg}/5\text{ mL}$) are outlined below:For Infants and Children:2 to 3 months ($5 \text{--} 6\text{ kg}$): $2.5\text{ mL}$ per dose (Note: Use only under medical advice, typically for a single dose to prevent post-vaccination fever).3 to 6 months ($6 \text{--} 8\text{ kg}$): $3.5\text{ mL}$ per dose.6 to 12 months ($8 \text{--} 10\text{ kg}$): $5\text{ mL}$ (1 teaspoon) per dose.1 to 2 years old ($10 \text{--} 12\text{ kg}$): $6\text{ mL}$ per dose.2 to 3 years old ($12 \text{--} 14\text{ kg}$): $7.5\text{ mL}$ (1.5 teaspoons) per dose.3 to 4 years old ($14 \text{--} 16\text{ kg}$): $9\text{ mL}$ per dose.4 to 5 years old ($16 \text{--} 20\text{ kg}$): $10\text{ mL}$ (2 teaspoons) per dose.For Adults:Not Suitable: This low-strength infant suspension is not intended for adults. Due to the mild concentration, an adult would have to ingest an impractical volume of this liquid to achieve an effective adult dose. Adults should always use standard $500\text{ mg}$ or $1\text{ g}$ paracetamol tablets instead.⚠️ Severe Safety Warnings & PrecautionsInfants under 2 months: Do not administer this medication to an infant under 2 months of age unless explicitly prescribed by a pediatrician.Avoid Duplication (Liver Toxicity): Paracetamol is incredibly safe when dosed correctly, but exceeding the daily limit can cause severe, life-threatening liver damage. Do not combine this suspension with any other medication containing paracetamol (such as Adol syrup, multi-symptom cold syrups like "1,2,3", or paracetamol suppositories like Fevadol).The 4-Hour Rule: Always leave a minimum of 4 full hours between doses. If your child's fever returns or spikes before 4 hours have passed, do not give more paracetamol. Consult your doctor or pharmacist about safely alternating with an entirely different class of medication, such as Ibuprofen (Medprofen).Accurate Measurement: Never use a random household kitchen spoon to measure the medicine. Always use the calibrated measuring syringe or cup included inside the Panadol box to ensure your child receives the exact required milliliters.
