Paracetamol Syrup 60ml (M&B)

Paracetamol Syrup 60ml (M&B) delivers 120mg of paracetamol (acetaminophen) per 5ml dose, acting centrally in the brain to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis and COX enzymes, thereby reducing pain signals and resetting the body’s temperature control center for effective antipyretic and analgesic effects. Produced by May & Baker Nigeria Plc, a reputable local pharmaceutical leader, this syrup is a staple in Nigerian households for managing common childhood ailments like teething discomfort, earaches, sore throats, and fever from infections such as malaria or viral illnesses, promoting quicker comfort and better rest without the gastrointestinal upset associated with NSAIDs.

• Quickly eases teething pains, headaches, and muscle aches to help children stay active and comfortable.
• Effectively reduces fever from colds, flu, or other infections, supporting faster recovery and preventing febrile convulsions.
• Alleviates symptoms of upper respiratory infections, including sore throats and earaches, for soothing relief.
• Provides gentle pain management for minor injuries or post-immunization discomfort when used as directed.
