Product information
How to use
- Shake the bottle well before each use.
- Use the measuring syringe provided to accurately measure the correct dose of Calpol Infant Suspension Paracetamol Strawberry.
- The recommended dosage depends on the child's age and weight. For babies 2-3 months weighing over 4kg and not premature, 2.5ml if needed after 4-6 hours (maximum 2 doses in 24 hours). For babies over 3 months old and weighing over 5kg, the usual dose is between 2.5-5ml every 4-6 hours (maximum 4 doses in 24 hours).
- Gently squirt the medicine into the child's mouth, aiming for the inside of the cheek, not the back of the throat, to reduce the risk of choking.
- Wait at least 4 hours between each dose, and do not exceed the recommended maximum dose in any 24 hour period.
- Do not use Calpol Infant Suspension for more than 3 days without consulting a doctor.
- Please refer to the packaging or product leaflet for more detailed information. If symptoms persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about ordering from Medicosmetic.
Absolutely. Medicosmetic is a registered, pharmacist-led store. All of our health treatments, medicines, and premium beauty products are sourced directly from verified manufacturers and regulated UK wholesalers. You are getting the exact same genuine products you would find in a high-street pharmacy or premium clinic.
While our premium skincare and General Sales List (GSL) items can be added straight to your cart, certain treatments are classed as Pharmacy-only medicines. To ensure these are safe and appropriate for you, our pharmacists require a quick, confidential online consultation before approving your order.
Yes. We understand that your health and beauty concerns are private. All orders are shipped in plain, unbranded packaging with no indication of the contents or the pharmacy name on the outside of the box.
We offer two fully tracked and secure delivery options. Standard Shipping is £4.99, and Express Shipping is £7.99. Regardless of the delivery speed, all orders are carefully packed and dispatched in plain, discreet packaging to completely protect your privacy.
For safety and hygiene reasons, and in compliance with UK pharmacy regulations, we cannot accept returns on any dispensed medicines (including Pharmacy-only treatments), even if they are unopened. However, unopened and unused beauty and skincare products can be returned within 14 days.
We don't just sell products; we provide care. If you are unsure how to layer a new skincare serum or need advice on taking a medication, our expert pharmacy team is just a message away.
