What is the correct dosage of Calpol 250 mg for a child at one time?

Asked by Female, 27 · 4 days ago

The correct dose of Calpol 250 mg for a child is based on body weight rather than age. The usual recommended dose is 10-15 mg per kg of body weight per dose, which can be given every 4-6 hours if needed, but not more than 4 doses in 24 hours. It is important to use the correct formulation and measuring device (syringe or cup) and avoid exceeding the recommended dose. Since strengths can vary, it is best to confirm the exact dose with your paediatrician, especially for younger children, to ensure safe and effective use.
