To give Pyrigesic Drops correctly to your child, follow these steps:

• Preferably, the medicine should be given at a fixed time each day.

• It's best to give this medicine after meals to minimise potential stomach irritation.

• Shake the bottle well before each use.

• Use the provided dropper or syringe to measure the exact dose instructed by your child's doctor.

• Avoid giving with other paracetamol-containing preparations.

• Remember, it's always advisable to consult your doctor for specific advice on giving this medicine.

Pyrigesic Drops are given orally.

Pyrigesic Drops contain paracetamol (100 mg), which acts on the body in several ways:

• Cyclooxygenase Enzyme Inhibition: Paracetamol works by blocking specific enzymes called cyclooxygenase (COX) - 1 and COX-2 in the brain. These enzymes are essential in producing certain chemical messengers known as prostaglandins that cause pain, inflammation, and fever.

• Temperature Reduction: By decreasing prostaglandin production, paracetamol effectively reduces the body's temperature set point in a part of the brain called the hypothalamus.

• Pain Relief: Paracetamol also influences certain systems in the brain to provide relief from pain. This includes interacting with the endocannabinoid system which helps control pain perception, and serotonergic pathways which are involved in regulating mood and pain.

• Store Pyrigesic Drops at room temperature.

• Keep this medicine away from direct sunlight and moisture.

• Ensure it is stored in a secure place out of the reach of children.

• Hydration is crucial when your child has a fever or cold, conditions managed by Pyrigesic Drops. Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids to help reduce fever and prevent dehydration.

• Painful conditions like headaches and body aches can be eased by maintaining a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains which can boost your child's immune system and promote recovery.
