Product Description
Panadrex 125mg Suppositories 10s is a paracetamol-based suppository formulation designed for infants and young children who cannot take oral medication easily. Each suppository delivers 125mg of paracetamol, a trusted analgesic and antipyretic that reduces fever and relieves pain from teething, colds, flu, earache, sore throat, post-vaccination discomfort, headache or minor aches. The rectal route provides fast absorption (usually works within 15–30 minutes) and is gentle on the stomach, avoiding nausea or vomiting issues common with oral syrups during illness. The suppositories are smooth, bullet-shaped for easy insertion and dissolve quickly at body temperature. The pack of 10 is convenient for home use, travel or during fever episodes when frequent dosing is needed. Paracetamol is safe when dosed correctly by weight/age – always follow pediatrician or package guidance.
