Adol Paracetamol 125 mg,10 Suppositories

Medication name: Adol Paracetamol 125 mg – 10 Suppositories
Drug class: Analgesic and antipyretic (contains paracetamol)
Use: This medication is used to relieve mild to moderate pain such as teething pain, headache, sore throat, earache, and toothache, as well as to reduce fever caused by colds, flu, or other infections in infants and young children.
It is especially useful when oral medicines cannot be taken, such as during vomiting or difficulty swallowing.

How it works: The active ingredient, paracetamol, works by blocking the production of prostaglandins in the brain — chemicals that cause pain and fever.
This helps reduce discomfort and lower body temperature safely and effectively.

Dosage and administration: Each suppository contains 125 mg of paracetamol.
The usual dose depends on the child’s weight and age.
It is generally 10–15 mg per kilogram of body weight every 4–6 hours as needed, not exceeding 4 doses in 24 hours.
The suppository should be inserted gently into the rectum with the pointed end first.
If the suppository is too soft, it can be cooled in the refrigerator for a few minutes before use.
Do not use more than the recommended dose, and consult a doctor if symptoms persist beyond 3 days.

Side effects: Paracetamol is generally well tolerated. Rarely, mild irritation of the rectum may occur.
Serious allergic reactions such as rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing are very uncommon.
Overdose may cause liver damage, which requires immediate medical attention.

Precautions: Do not use if the child is allergic to paracetamol or any of the suppository’s ingredients.
Avoid giving other paracetamol-containing medications at the same time.
Use with caution in children with liver or kidney problems, dehydration, or malnutrition.
Consult a doctor before using in infants under 3 months unless advised by a healthcare professional.

Storage: Store below 30 °C, away from direct heat and sunlight. Do not refrigerate or freeze.
Keep out of the reach of children and do not use after the expiry date printed on the packaging.
