Disprol paracetamol

Disprol paracetamol What is Disprol used for?Disprol preparations contain children's doses of paracetamol. Disprol can be given to children for the following reasons:Despite its widespread use for over 100 years, we still don't fully understand how paracetamol works to relieve pain and reduce fever. However, it is thought that it works by reducing the production of prostaglandins in the brain and spinal cord. ADVERTISEMENT CONTINUE READING BELOW Prostaglandins are produced by the body in response to injury and certain diseases. One of their actions is to sensitise nerve endings, so that when the injury is stimulated it causes pain (presumably to prevent us from causing further harm to the area). As paracetamol reduces the production of these nerve sensitising prostaglandins it is thought it may increase our pain threshold, so http://www.amateurpin.org that although the original cause of the pain remains, we can feel it less. Never use an ordinary teaspoon to measure a dose of paracetamol. You should never exceed the dose stated in the information leaflet supplied with the medicine. The following are some of the side effects that are known to be associated with paracetamol. Just because a side effect is stated here does not mean that all children using Disprol will experience that or any side effect. If you think your child has experienced a side effect, did you know you can report this using the yellow card website? Can I give Disprol with other medicines?If your child is already taking any other medicines you should get advice from your pharmacist before giving them Disprol as well. Don't give your child other medicines that contain paracetamol in combination with Disprol, as this can easily result in exceeding the maximum recommended daily dose of paracetamol. Many cold and flu remedies and other painkillers contain paracetamol, so be sure to check the ingredients of any other medicines before giving them in combination with Disprol, or ask your pharmacist for advice. Colestyramine reduces the absorption of paracetamol from the gut. You should avoid giving it within an hour of paracetamol or the effect of the paracetamol will be reduced. Metoclopramide and domperidone may increase the absorption of paracetamol from the gut.
