Description

Babygesic Drops Orange is a pediatric oral drop formulation containing Paracetamol, a commonly used medicine for the temporary relief of fever and mild to moderate pain in children.

Paracetamol works primarily by reducing the production of certain chemical messengers involved in pain and fever. It may help relieve discomfort associated with conditions such as fever, common cold, teething, headache, and other minor aches and pains.

Because this is a medicine intended for children, the dose should be based on the child’s age and, where appropriate, body weight. Always check the strength mentioned on the product label and use the measuring device supplied with the product.
