XT Para Suspension

Refer to the pack for complete information.

Relief of fever and mild to moderate pain such as headache, body ache, toothache, sore throat and pain due to common cold/flu (paracetamol oral suspension).

Paracetamol reduces fever by acting on the temperature-regulating centre in the brain (hypothalamus). It also helps relieve pain by decreasing the formation of pain‑causing chemical messengers (prostaglandins).

Oral suspension: shake well before use and measure the dose with a calibrated spoon/cup/dropper. Give the dose as advised by a doctor based on the child’s weight/age; doses are usually spaced 4–6 hours apart. Can be taken with or without food; do not exceed the recommended daily dose.

Nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, diarrhoea, rash, allergic reaction, raised liver enzymes (rare)

Do not use more than the recommended dose or combine with other paracetamol-containing medicines (risk of liver damage). Use with caution in liver disease, chronic alcohol use, malnutrition or dehydration. Stop and seek medical help if rash, swelling, breathing difficulty or persistent fever/pain occurs. Avoid prolonged use without medical advice.

Alcohol, warfarin/other anticoagulants (with prolonged use), enzyme inducers (rifampicin, phenytoin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital), isoniazid, zidovudine, probenecid
