Usage
As children get older their needs can change in all sorts of ways. That’s why we have created CALPOL® SIXPLUS™ Fastmelts. The only dissolve-in-the-mouth tablet to provide on-the-go pain relief for kids 6 years and over. They’re formulated with more than twice the strength of infant paracetamol to provide effective, soothing relief from pain and fever and starts to work on fever in just 15 minutes, whilst being gentle on tummies.
CALPOL® SIXPLUS™ Fastmelts are strawberry flavoured tablets that melt on the tongue with no need for water, great for on-the-go pain relief.
