Panado® knows that on-the-go parenting is not for the faint hearted. Mornings begin with the school run and quickly turn into a juggling act of school bags, a taxi ride, traffic, potholes and grocery bags, before the day wraps up with a last dash to get supper on the table before bedtime. Add unexpected pain or fever, and it’s enough to make any parent sigh.
Headaches, teething discomfort, sore throats, earaches, and temperature spikes in children have a habit of picking the worst possible moment. They often show up once shoes are on and everyone is already out the door, halfway through a long drive, or just before bedtime at Gogo’s house.
A fever or high temperature might come on slow or rise quickly1a. It might also rise and fall throughout the day.1b Pain can also be tricky for children to explain2a. Older kids might be able to tell you what hurts or whether the pain comes and goes, but toddlers often just say they don’t feel well2b.
Add a busy day into the mix and symptoms such as fever can feel worse. Warm weather, lots of movement and not drinking enough fluids, especially during summer, can leave children more uncomfortable when they’re already feeling unwell3. Treating pain or fever promptly with age-appropriate medications helps reduce discomfort4 so your child can back to normal routines sooner.
For parents constantly on the move, having an easy-to-use, powerful and pocket-sized solution can make all the difference.
Created with busy parents in mind, Panado® has introduced a new way to handle pain and fever in everyday family life with Panado® Strawberry 5 ml Sachets5.
Each sachet contains a single 5 ml dose of Panado® Strawberry Syrup5, powered by paracetamol, an ingredient with more than 150 years of clinical experience6.
The sachets are sealed, compact and easy to store or carry, making them perfect for travel and everyday outings. Containing the same trusted7 formulation, strength and berry nice flavour parents know, Panado® Strawberry 5 ml Sachets5 are ready to work immediately8 and are suitable for babies and children from three months and older.
Slip one into a pocket, handbag, nappy bag, or backpack and relief is always close by. There is no bulky bottle to carry and no spills to worry about. Parents simply tear open a sachet, measure the correct dose using a syringe or medicine measure, and discard the remainder once the dose has been given.
To support safe and accurate use, dosage is calculated according to a child’s age and weight. Parents can check the Panado® dosage calculator at panado.co.za/dosage-calculator, or scan the QR code on pack for guidance. This helps take the guesswork out of dosing and gives extra peace of mind.
The sachets sit alongside the wider Panado® paediatric range, which includes Panado® Strawberry Syrup5, Panado® Peppermint9, suitable from Day 1 and Panado® Infant Drops10. Panado® Infant Drops were named a Product of the Year 2025 winner in the Child Health category11, based on votes from 2,000 South African consumers in a Kantar survey.
When children are uncomfortable, parents want something they can rely on. Panado® continues to be trusted7 to help soothe pain and fever, allowing little ones to settle, feel better and return to being themselves, whether you are at home or on the move.
Panado® products are available from Baby City, Pick n Pay, Checkers including Hypers, Shoprite, Clicks, Dis-Chem and independent pharmacies.
