Xpa Suspension 60ml

✔️ Do not give Xpa Suspension to your child if:

Your child is allergic to paracetamol or any other ingredient in the suspension.

Your child is already receiving another medicine containing paracetamol, unless a healthcare professional has specifically advised how to use both products safely.

✔️ Side Effects of Xpa Suspension

Paracetamol is generally well tolerated when given at the recommended dose. Rare side effects may include:

• Skin rash, itching, or blisters
• Allergic reactions
• Blood-related abnormalities

Excessive doses or prolonged inappropriate use can cause serious liver damage and, in some circumstances, kidney problems. Seek urgent medical help if your child develops breathing difficulty, swelling of the face or lips, or a severe skin reaction.

✔️ Interaction

Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines your child is taking. Potential interactions or precautions may involve:

• Metoclopramide or domperidone: Medicines that may affect the rate of paracetamol absorption.
• Warfarin: Regular or prolonged paracetamol use may affect anticoagulation and require monitoring.
• Cholestyramine: May reduce paracetamol absorption; ask a pharmacist about appropriate timing.
• Chloramphenicol: Paracetamol use may require additional consideration when given with this antibiotic.

Do not stop or adjust any prescribed medicine without medical advice.

✔️ Dosage

The appropriate dose depends on the child's weight, age, and the suspension's concentration. Follow the prescribed instructions and maintain the recommended interval between doses. If you are unsure about the dose, check with a doctor or pharmacist before administering it.

✔️ Directions for Use:

Shake the bottle well before each use.

Give the medicine exactly as directed by your doctor or pharmacist.

Use an oral syringe or suitable measuring device rather than a household spoon.

Check the label for the paracetamol concentration before measuring the dose.

Do not give additional paracetamol-containing products at the same time unless advised by a healthcare professional.

✔️ Safety Information:

Consult your doctor before suspending Xpa if your child:

• Has liver or kidney disease.
• Takes other medicines that contain paracetamol.
• Requires frequent or prolonged treatment for fever or pain.

Do not exceed the prescribed dose. Xpa Suspension is formulated for paediatric use; adults should use an appropriate product and dose if needed.

✔️ Overdose

Giving too much paracetamol can cause severe liver damage, even if the child initially appears well. Possible symptoms include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and abdominal pain, although symptoms may be delayed.

If your child may have received too much paracetamol, seek emergency medical attention immediately. Do not wait for symptoms to appear.

✔️ Missed Dose

Xpa Suspension is generally given when needed for fever or pain. If it has been prescribed on a schedule and you miss a dose, give it when remembered if appropriate, while maintaining the recommended interval before the next dose. Skip the missed dose if it is nearly time for the next one. Never give a double dose.

✔️ Storage and Disposal

• Store at or below 25°C, following the product label.
• Do not freeze.
• Protect from direct sunlight.
• Keep the bottle tightly closed and out of children's reach.
• Follow the label's instructions for use after opening and for safe disposal.
