What is the recommended dosage for Paracetamol 120 mg?
Paracetamol 120 mg (usually formulated as a 120 mg/5 mL liquid suspension) is typically prescribed for young children. The most accurate dosage is based on your child's weight rather than age. Generally, for a child weighing between 10 to 15 kg, the recommended dose is 5 mL (which contains 120 mg of paracetamol) given every 4 to 6 hours as needed. Do not exceed 4 doses in a 24-hour period. Always use the measuring syringe or spoon provided with the medicine to ensure accuracy, and consult your pediatrician to confirm the exact dose based on your child's current weight.
