Frequently asked questions

What is Infant’s & Children’s Paracetamol Galpharm Healthcare used for?+
Infant’s & Children’s Paracetamol Galpharm Healthcare is an oral liquid formulation of paracetamol intended to relieve mild to moderate pain and to reduce fever in infants and children. It is commonly used for teething discomfort, febrile illnesses, and general aches associated with common colds.
How does paracetamol work in this product?+
Paracetamol reduces pain and fever by inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes in the central nervous system, which lowers prostaglandin production. This action decreases the brain’s perception of pain and resets the hypothalamic set‑point for body temperature, providing analgesic and antipyretic effects.
What is the usual dose for this medication?+
The appropriate dose is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the child’s age, weight, and clinical condition. Caregivers should follow the prescriber’s instructions and use the provided measuring device to ensure accurate dosing.
Is this product safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Paracetamol is generally considered compatible with pregnancy and breastfeeding when used at recommended doses, but safety information is limited for infants and children. The prescriber should evaluate the risk‑benefit profile for each individual case.

How does this paracetamol compare with other fever‑reducing drugs for children?+
