Before you give Panadol Baby & Infant to your child

Contains paracetamol. Do not give with any other paracetamol-containing products. The concomitant use with other products containing paracetamol may lead to an overdose.
Paracetamol overdose may cause liver failure which can lead to liver transplant or death. Cases of hepatic dysfunction/failure have been reported in patients with depleted glutathione levels, such as those who are severely malnourished, anorexic, have a low body mass index or are chronic heavy users of alcohol.
Underlying liver disease increases the risk of paracetamol-related liver damage. Patients who have been diagnosed with liver or kidney impairment must seek medical advice before taking this medication.

a. Do not give Panadol Baby & Infant to your child if :
Panadol Baby & infant is contraindicated in children with known or previous history of hypersensitivity to paracetamol or any other ingredient in the product.

b. Take Special care with Panadol Baby & Infant Medical advice should be sought before giving Panadol Baby & Infant to your child if:

  • Your child has liver or kidney problems (Because Paracetamol is metabolised in the liver and excreted by the kidney in urine). The hazard of overdose is greater in those with non-cirrhotic alcoholic liver disease.
  • Your child has hereditary problems of fructose intolerance must not take Panadol Baby & Infant as this product contains Maltitol & Sorbitol liquid (666.5 mg per 5 ml suspension).
  • This product contains Hexacol Carmoisine Supra (E122) and ethyl-, methyl-, propyl-hydroxybenzoates (E219, E215, E217) which may cause allergic reactions (possibly delayed).

Check with your child’s doctor if:

  • Your child is in a glutathione depleted state such as sepsis or your child has a severe infection as the use of Paracetamol may increase the risk of metabolic acidosis.

Signs of metabolic acidosis include:

  • Deep, rapid, difficult breathing
  • Feeling sick (nausea), being sick (vomiting)
  • Loss of appetite
  • Contact your child’s doctor immediately if your child gets a combination of these symptoms.

* Please see your child’s doctor if symptoms do not improve, get worsen or new symptoms occur because these could be signs of a serious condition. Prolonged use except under medical supervision may be harmful.
* Keep this and all medication out of sight and reach of children.
* Do not exceed the stated dose.

c. Taking other medications

  • The liver toxic effects of Paracetamol may be increased by the use of alcohol.
  • The speed of absorption of paracetamol may be increased by metoclopramide or domperidone and absorption reduced by cholestyramine.
  • The anticoagulant effect of warfarin and other coumarins may be enhanced by prolonged regular daily use of paracetamol with increased risk of bleeding; occasional doses have no significant effect.

d. Pregnancy and lactation
This product is intended for use in children.

Pregnancy
A large amount of data on pregnant women indicate neither malformative, nor feto/neonatal toxicity. Epidemiological studies on neurodevelopment in children exposed to paracetamol in utero show inconclusive results. If clinically needed, paracetamol can be used during pregnancy however it should be used at the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible time and at the lowest possible frequency.

Lactation
Paracetamol is excreted in breast milk. However, the level of paracetamol present is not considered to be harmful. Available published data do not contraindicate breastfeeding.

e. Effects on ability to drive and use machines
None.

Possible Adverse Events:

There have been rare reports of blood dyscrasias including thrombocytopenia and agranulocytosis, but these were not necessarily causally related to paracetamol.

Stop this product and consult your child’s doctor immediately if:

  • You notice allergic reactions such as skin rash or itching, sometimes with breathing problems or swelling of the lips, tongue, throat or face.
  • Your child experienced angioedema, Steven Johnson Syndrome or Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis.
  • You notice skin rash or peeling or mouth ulcers.
  • Your child previously experienced breathing problems or bronchospasm with acetylsalicylic acid or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and experiences a similar reaction with this product.
  • Your child experienced unexplained bruising or bleeding.
  • Your child experienced liver dysfunction related symptoms or signs. These reactions are very rare.
