I was introduced by P - 120 Paracetamol Pediatric Suspension
when the doctor prescribed it to my son. I had consulted the doctor as my son
was having recurrent fever along with cough.
I bought one 60 ml bottle of this
suspension. It is manufactured by Apex Laboratories Pvt. Ltd. One bottle cost
me Rs. 33 which is not as such costly if we compare with other brands available
in the market. The suspension comes in plain bottle.
There is not any dropper
provided by the manufacturer. I had to use one old dropper to administer the
medicine to my baby. The pediatrician had suggested me to give this medicine as
SOS - when there is a need. It means I was supposed to give it when my son is
having fever. Otherwise, it is not supposed to be given. The dose was 5 ml for
one time administration.
I gave the suspension to my baby when I noticed that
he has fever more than 100 degree Celsius. Actually, this was also suggested by
the doctor that the medicine should be given only after fever crosses this
mark. I noticed that the fever goes down and his body temperature becomes
normal within 10 minutes.
He started to behave normally. The other antibiotic
was working for cough which led to him being completely cured within three
days. I continued to give P - 120 in suggested dose whenever there was
necessity. My son never showed any sort of problem after taking it. I also
noticed that he likes the taste. There is also no issue with ingestion as he
never complained about nausea or dizziness.
Within next few days, I again
needed this medicine for my son. This time he was vaccinated. The doctor had clearly
advised me to give 5 ml within one hour of vaccination. I would like to mention
here that this time there was no suggestion about the level of body temperature
as was previously suggested to me. The doctor told me that this suspension not
only works in reducing fever, but it is also great when it comes to handling
pain. And, pain is expected as three vaccines were administered at three
locations. It helped me to easily manage the after effect of vaccination.
Overall, P - 120 is a great Paracetamol product which is especially marketed
for infants. It works quickly in handling both body temperature and pain.
