Our Story

For over 50 years, our commitment to developing gentle yet effective treatments to help parents look after their children has never changed.

Specialists in children's medicine

At CALPOL^®, we understand that when your little one is feeling unwell, all you want is to see a happy smile on their face again. We know that your love and care are more important than anything else when it comes to making your baby feel better. And we know that cuddles can go a long, long way.

But we also know that – sometimes – everyone needs a little help. For over 50 years, parents have used our medicines when their children are unwell.

When they are unwell, our products can help soothe them. When they’re in pain, our products can bring reassuring relief.

Each one of our medicines is the fruit of years of experience, research and knowledge. Which means you can choose them for the people you value most of all – your children.

The CALPOL^® Family includes paracetamol and ibuprofen-based medicines that are specially designed for children, to offer them relief from the discomforts of pain and fever. We have also created products to help with coughs, to soothe teething pain, and to help you look after your little one when they get a cold.
