300 ml - dark glass bottles (1) complete with a measuring syringe - cardboard boxes.

Pharmacological action

Analgesic-antipyretic. Has an analgesic and antipyretic effect. Blocks cyclooxygenase in the central nervous system, affecting pain and thermoregulation centers.

The anti-inflammatory effect is practically absent.

Does not affect the condition of the gastrointestinal mucosa and water-salt metabolism, since it does not affect the synthesis of prostaglandins in peripheral tissues.

Pharmacokinetics

Suction and distribution

Absorption is high. Paracetamol is quickly and almost completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Cmax is reached in 30-60 minutes.

Plasma protein binding is about 15%. The distribution of paracetamol in body fluids is relatively even.

Metabolism

Metabolized primarily in the liver with the formation of several metabolites. In newborns in the first two days of life and in children 3-10 years of age, the main metabolite of paracetamol is paracetamol sulfate; in children 12 years of age and older, it is conjugated glucuronide.

Part of the drug (approximately 17%) undergoes hydroxylation to form active metabolites that are conjugated with glutathione. With a lack of glutathione, these metabolites of paracetamol can block enzyme systems hepatocytes and cause their necrosis.

Removal

T1/2 when taking a therapeutic dose ranges from 2-3 hours. When taking therapeutic doses 90-100% dose taken excreted in urine within one day. The main amount of the drug is released after conjugation in the liver. No more than 3% of the received dose of paracetamol is excreted unchanged.

Indications

Used in children aged 3 months to 12 years:

- to reduce elevated body temperature against the background colds, flu and children's infectious diseases(including chicken pox, mumps, measles, rubella, scarlet fever);

Name:

PANADOL BABY

Children often have increased body temperature due to vaccinations, teething, colds and other reasons. Most parents, at the first symptoms of illness in their baby, run to the pharmacy for antipyretics. When choosing, they take into account the price of the drug, its release form and contraindications.

Panadol Baby is considered one of the most popular medicines for children. The suspension (some call it syrup) has pleasant taste, so most children take the drug with pleasure, and soon the fever and pain subside.

Children's Panadol

Properties, composition and release form of children's Panadol

Panadol comes in several forms. For children, the drug is suitable in the form of a suspension or rectal suppositories. You can also buy Panadol in tablets.

The syrup has pink, homogeneous thick consistency and pleasant smell. It is bottled in 100 ml bottles (see photo). The glass container, along with instructions for use and a measuring spoon (syringe), is packaged in a cardboard box and sold through pharmacy chains.

5 ml of suspension contains:

• citric acid;
• malic acid;
• flavoring;
• sweeteners - sorbitol and maltitol.

Rectal suppositories white have a cone-shaped shape and a homogeneous structure. The package contains 5 or 10 suppositories.

Panadol rectal suppositories

One candle contains:

• active substance- paracetamol (120 mg);
• solid fats.

Suppositories can be given to children under 3 years of age; Panadol for children in a different form is subsequently indicated. Rectal suppositories almost do not cause allergies, since they contain only paracetamol and solid fats.

Suppositories are used when a baby refuses to drink sweet syrup. It is best to use them before bedtime - the active substance is absorbed more slowly, the drug will act longer, the baby will be able to sleep all night, he will not be disturbed elevated temperature and pain.

Up to 1 year of age, babies, as a rule, normally perceive the introduction of suppositories. Older children do not like such procedures. They prefer a tasty and aromatic suspension.

Panadol is an analgesic with a pronounced antipyretic effect. Pediatricians often recommend this drug as a medicine, reducing pain syndrome during teething.

As soon as the medicine enters the body, the active substance begins to be absorbed into the blood. Paracetamol blocks cyclooxygenase in the central nervous system. The drug affects the centers of pain and thermoregulation, helping young patients cope with unpleasant symptoms.

A distinctive feature of children's Panadol is the absence negative impact on the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract. In turn, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs provoke the production of prostaglandins, irritating the walls of the stomach and intestines.

It is a long-established and firmly proclaimed “adult” remedy for migraines, headaches, and pain in general, as doctors put it, “general pain of unknown origin.” Fathers and mothers often take this drug by the handful without hesitation. After all, in addition to all of the above, it treats neuralgia and neuritis, and somewhat reduces fever.

And, of course, they are increasingly tempted to offer such great active remedy a child when he is in pain.

"Children's Panadol", taste and color, indications, instructions for use

Do not confuse Panadol with the baby syrup of the same name!

After all, many have heard reviews on the Internet that the analogue of paracetamol “Panadol” is the famous “Panadol Baby”, a purely children's medicine! But is it possible to give something like this? strong remedy child?

After all, even in adults, paracetamol often causes itching, allergic rash all over the body. In addition, it has been established that if you overdo the dosage even a little, this medicine has a harmful effect on the kidneys, liver and even the heart (in the form of arrhythmia).

Paracetamol “from birth” is identified with “Panadol” (although this is not entirely accurate), but here you can’t help but wonder whether it’s worth feeding your child with it and in what doses. If there are contraindications even for adults, what can we say about gentle internal organs children: Panadol, which is harmless for adults, can cause serious harm to them, sometimes with death.

Real Panadol for Children

French manufacturers came to the aid of young fathers, mothers and nannies by developing the exclusive “Panadol Children” in the form of a syrup (suspension). "Children's Panadol" syrup is very easy and quickly absorbed by the baby's body and is practically harmless to the child’s body! It is important to protect yourself and your family from counterfeits. If you see the Panadol Baby brand on a beautiful box in a store, be sure to check by the inscription on the package or by the instructions, but preferably also by the barcode, that the product was made in France (as in the photo).

Delicious children's syrup - your antiseptic and harmless pain reliever for the child

It is important to note that Panadol for Children is not a steroid substance. It can be given (in reasonable dosages, of course), as soon as your child becomes worried about discomfort, which he himself cannot tell you about.

Main, Panadol Children's syrup is almost completely harmless, unlike the same paracetamol.

It would seem, how can this be, since the suspension is based on paracetamol? But additives invented by French pharmacologists make Panadol Children safer.

It is these tricks of biochemistry that provide differences between paracetamol (Panadol) and Panadol Children's suspension.

• The syrup is much faster (almost instantly, when compared with other drugs) and is completely eliminated from the gastric tract.
• This happens due to high speed metabolism in the baby’s liver, as the instructions say.
• The dose of syrup is absorbed by the child in a couple of hours, and within one day all harmful, “excess” drugs are excreted along with the urine. According to the instructions, all the most “useful” things for the body remain in it, and unabsorbed paracetamol (as scientists have calculated, only three percent) goes into the pot! At the same time, "Children's Panadol" syrup does not contain substances harmful to small children such as alcohol, acetylsalicylic acid or sugar. Therefore, it does not affect the gastrointestinal mucosa or the exchange of salts in the body of a small person.

From these studies and the work with which the French approached the creation of a medicine, it is clear that for babies, children from 3 months to 12 years, it is the best medicine, acting quickly both for pain and inflammation, if used strictly according to the instructions for use.

Doctors (the most famous reinsurers) nevertheless prescribe Panadol for children, according to the instructions and world experience, starting from three months after general vaccination, not only for pain in the stomach or intestines due to overeating.

"Panadol for children" successfully copes with the symptoms of such terrible small child diseases like:

• Scarlet fever.
• Flu or ARVI.
• Piggy.
• Measles.
• Chickenpox.
• Rubella.
• Whooping cough.
• Ear pain.

These are very serious illnesses for the baby and important to remember, What syrup "Children's Panadol" is just beginning to fight them. If terrible diagnosis If any serious illness is confirmed, then hospitalization is necessary (depending on the advice of the attending doctor, who may consider that transporting the baby will only aggravate the risk). In addition to these cold-related diseases, the instructions stipulate that children's Panadol copes with

• Pain due to sinusitis or sinusitis (otitis media).
• Pain from teething.

According to reviews from grateful parents, Panadolu Baby has no equal in this area!

The baby (4 years old) has fever and pain in the temples. I almost fed you Askofen, you fool. But the district police officer forbade it, prescribed some kind of analgesic, then advised: “shouldn’t we start with Children’s Panadol?” After 5 days, all the signs of sinusitis (we were afraid it was him) disappeared!

Olya Kolesnikova, Cherepovtsy.

The child was almost an adult (almost 12), and suffered from dental problems. But I began to have doubts about strong pain relief; the day before the visit to the doctor I gave a dessert spoon of Panadol-Baby (it turned out to be three times). The pain is gone!

Ira Demina, Tosno.

Ordinary local doctors also write grateful reviews.

I was undecided about what to prescribe for a two-year-old child with suspected otitis media. He advised, in full agreement with the instructions, after weighing the baby, to give 10 milliliters of Panadol Children's syrup three times over five days. On the third day he came in and the child was already quite healthy!

G.A. Manukyan, district police officer with 20 years of experience, Vitebsk

"Panadol for Children": use according to instructions

In fact, young mothers and fathers are not recommended to treat their very tiny child themselves. This should be done by special nurses. As for a three-month-old baby, if after a one-time dose of syrup the temperature does not subside, you need to call a specialist!

It is worth remembering that temperatures up to 38 degrees are common for babies: this is how the child’s body fights the harsh realities of the outside world. But if the doctor recommends, you need to “treat” the baby once, at the rate of 15 milligrams per kilogram of the baby’s body weight.

Thus, everyone who is going to treat a child with Panadol Children’s syrup, important to remember:

In the second or third month of the baby’s life, the drug is used strictly one-time use. AND exclusively on the advice of the supervising doctor. This is because the child needs to be checked to see if his liver and circulatory system. After all, for all forty years of the wild popularity of “Panadol” ─ children’s syrup, they found only one (!) contraindication for it: this is the sad case when a child is already born with a diseased liver and kidneys, then he can forget even about such a “tasty” syrup -medicine. That is why “Children's Panadol” is never given to newborns, no matter how much they cry.

Up to 4 months or even six months even that safe remedy must be given once, and exclusively on the recommendation of the doctor observing the child! Remember: the instructions prohibit repeated use of the product at this age! No one wants to “overfeed” the liver of a newly born baby with paracetamol, which will have consequences for the rest of his life?

At normal weight child (from 8 kilograms for girls and from 10 kilograms for boys), the suspension, according to the instructions, is first shaken in the bottle, then, using a measuring syringe, the most appropriate exact dosage based on the child's body weight.

According to the instructions, the amount of the substance that can be prescribed in the first months of a person’s life should be as follows:

• Up to six months, a single dose should not exceed 4 ml (96 mg). A total quantity medications, since Panadol already at this age can be prescribed up to three times a day, while daily dosage should not exceed 16 ml (384 mg).
• In the second half of the baby’s life, the number optimal dosage The figures are 5 ml (120 mg) and 20 ml (480 mg), respectively.

However, medical specialists know such tables of dosages of the ratio of medicine to weight better than you and me, but especially worried parents (if in a hurry they lost a piece of paper with detailed instructions) can easily find them on the Internet by typing into the search: “panadol dosage for the little ones.” At the same time, by the age of 12, you can give your child an increased dosage, 20 ml three times a day. At this age, children are already able to form an opinion about the medications they are “stuffed with,” and according to their reviews, “Panadol” is the most pleasant-tasting and fastest-acting!

Experts, local police officers with experience, who are reviving our institute, also speak well of “Panadol” family doctors", in their reviews - respect for panadol syrup, after taking which their patients almost never have any unpleasant effects!

But it is important to remember that with just one instruction, without doctors, you can “finish your treatment” even with such a harmless “syrup.” Important to remember that even if you act strictly according to the instructions, but without medical supervision, you should not delay the “Panadol” course:

• For pain relief, the suspension should not be given for more than five days.
• For an antipyretic effect, never feed your “baby” Panadol for more than three days.

Doesn't help - no matter how good medicine no matter what, you need to call urgently medical assistance! After all, if the baby begins to have constant loose stool, then this means. that you started to overdo it with panadol therapy.

Composition of Panadol Children's syrup:

This exceptional baby medicine In addition to paracetamol, there are very interesting additives:

• Malic acid.
• Corn Sugar Gum (Xanthan, Organic Dietary Supplement).
• Glucose syrup.
• Citric acid and strawberry flavor.
• Just a little food coloring azorubine (the only little harmful substance, as determined during analysis, but it gives the syrup an appetizing strawberry color).

So “Panadol for Children” is not only healing for your child, but also very tasty! All that remains is to buy the syrup (although the medicine is also available in instant tablets for older children)!
