Calpol Six Plus Sugar Free Strawberry Suspension 140ml contains paracetamol 250mg per 5ml and provides effective relief from pain and fever in children aged 6 years and over.
The pleasant strawberry-flavoured, sugar-free suspension can be used to relieve a range of common childhood symptoms, including headache, toothache, sore throat, earache, general aches and pains and fever associated with colds and flu.
Calpol Six Plus is a higher-strength paracetamol suspension specifically formulated for older children, making it important to use the correct product and dose for your child's age.
Pharmacist Summary
Calpol Six Plus contains 250mg of paracetamol in every 5ml, which is more than twice the concentration of Calpol Infant Suspension (120mg/5ml). It is therefore important to follow the Six Plus dosing instructions and never substitute doses between the two products.
Never give Calpol Six Plus alongside another medicine containing paracetamol.
