Calpol is used for reducing fever and relieving pain, including toothache, headache, migraine, muscle ache, period pain, etc. Paracetamol works by inhibiting the action of certain substances that cause pain and acting on the brain centre that regulates body temperature. Although side effects from Calpol 500 are uncommon, you may experience skin rash or itching.

The dose and duration of this medicine varies among individuals depending on the severity and condition it is being used for. You should not take more than 4 tablets of the Paracip 500 tablet in any 24 hours. Do not take it further if you feel that your pain and fever are relieved.
