Calpol 500 15 Tablets

Calpol 500 from GlaxoSmithKline is a paracetamol tablet used by adults and older children for everyday pain and fever. It is one of the most familiar over-the-counter pain relievers worldwide.

• Eases headache, body ache, and toothache
• Helps bring down fever
• Useful for menstrual cramps and mild musculoskeletal pain

Paracetamol lowers fever by acting on temperature-regulating centres in the brain and dulls pain signals at the central nervous system level. It does this without significantly affecting the stomach lining, which makes it easier to tolerate than many anti-inflammatory medicines.

Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water as prescribed by your doctor. Do not crush or chew it, and stick to the recommended daily limit.

• Usually well tolerated
• Occasional nausea
• Rare allergic skin reactions

Avoid combining with other paracetamol products, and be careful with alcohol, as both can stress the liver. Tell your doctor if you have liver or kidney disease, or if you are on any long-term medication.

Keep at room temperature in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
