Works ok but more effective when alternated with nurofen. Also I find it very sticky, I dropped some on the carpet and am yet to get it out.

Well liked by my daughter because its sweet and fruit flavoured ! Effective at reducing temperature and pain. Its a shame its so sugary and, to me, sickly and I've read an article suggesting a possible link with frequent use and asthma. I'm not sure how true this is but it certainly makes me cautious about frequent use.
