This makes it a go-to choice for parents who want a reliable solution that is easy to administer and appealing for their little ones to take.

Fever is one of the most frequently cited reasons parents or caregivers seek medical help for their children. It is often a source of concern for parents and health care practitioners, who believe it may be linked to a greater risk of seizures (fits).^3a

A fever is defined as a body temperature of more than 38 °C in children.^3b

Our syrup contains paracetamol, an option for treating pain and fever in children,⁴ and caters to diverse tastes and preferences while being gentle on little tummies⁵.

But we didn’t stop there.

PANADO® PAEDIATRIC ALCOHOL-FREE GRAPE FLAVOUR SYRUP

The recall of the Panado® Paediatric Alcohol-Free Grape Syrup was initiated because of the development of small white specks in a limited number of packed units. These white specks are a result of the dissolved paracetamol (the active ingredient) coming out of solution over a period of time, which is called precipitation. As the syrup is clear and colourless, the precipitation of paracetamol becomes visible in the product or at the bottom of the bottle.  This precipitation seen as small white specks impacts the visual appearance of the product. The safety profile and efficacy (working of the product) remains unchanged.
