Junior Disprol

Colourings in calpol and other paracetamols have been known to cause allergies, eczema and even rashes. There is eczema and allergies in my family. My mum has allergic reactions to the colourings in some tablets (especially the yellow ones). She now has to ask for colour free antibiotics. I decided the sensible thing would be to see my GP for paracetamol my 3 month old son had a terrible temperature. My GP prescribed the standard NHS paracetamol - both colourless and frankly tasteless. My son spat out this free paracetamol, no matter how well I thought I was squirting it into his mouth. Back to the drawing board! I went to a pharmacy and explained ...  Read the complete review

Well, you can tell it’s December, I’ve got two kids off school ill. My twelve-year-old has laryngitis; my six-year-old has fluid in her ears, a high temperature and swollen tonsils. Of course, these are all notorious viruses – meaning nope, they won’t get prescribed antibiotics, they won’t work. (Is it just me or are GPs prescribing fewer antibiotics these days?) The GP advised they drink lots of fluids (especially fruit juice for the vitamin C), eat lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, rest well and take paracetamol. They could be off school between three and five days – eek! My eldest, being twelve, can take adult ...  Read the complete review

I always though disprol came in tablet form but when my son was poorly I took him to the docters and they gave me disprol. I explained to the docter I did not like the idea of my soon taking tablets so the docter explained it was also avaliable in a syrup. Its not to thick, has a nice smell but is full of suger unlike calpol which you can buy suger free. You can buy all of these from over the counter or get a prescription from your docter although if you feel that there is something wrong with your child take he/she straight to the docter as they could be something seriously wrong. These medicines contain paracetomal and should only be given every four hours. ...  Read the complete review

It is terrible to see your children ill and even worse when you can persaude them to take any medicine. My daughter was really ill last year and her temperature was so high it was frightening. Everyone knows that paracetamol reduces temperature so I reached for the Calpol. Unfortuantly she refused to take it. As soon it was in her mouth she spat it back out. In a situation like this, Disprol comes into its own. It is a soluble paracetmol tablet that you can just disolve in their drinks and they dont even know its there. It is suitable for children from three months to 12 years and is very fast and effective. They work very well for high temperatures, ...  Read the complete review
