DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Give Calpol Paediatric Drops Peppermint exactly as prescribed by your child's doctor. The dose and duration depend on your child's age, body weight, and medical condition. Shake the bottle well before use and measure the prescribed dose accurately using a measuring device. It may be given with or without food, although giving it after food may help reduce stomach irritation. Do not give this medicine together with other medicines containing paracetamol, as this may lead to overdose and liver damage. Always check the ingredients of any other medicines before administering them to your child.

These side effects are usually mild and improve as the body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your child's doctor if any side effects persist, worsen, or become bothersome.

SAFETY ADVICE

Before giving Calpol Paediatric Drops Peppermint, inform your doctor if your child has any blood related disorder, allergy to any medicine, birth defects, liver impairment, or kidney dysfunction. Use the medicine only in the prescribed dose and duration. Do not exceed the recommended dose, as overdose may cause liver damage. If your child is taking any other medicines, especially those containing paracetamol, inform your doctor before use to avoid accidental overdose.
