Used this after jabs as recommended by Health Visitor. My child was fine but hard to know if this was down to the Calpol or not!

My preferred option, reliable trusted option. More expensive than supermarket alternatives. Sugar free option still tastes ok.

This is the only brand I have used at present. I bough branded calpol when my daughter had her first injections as it was the only one that specified it could be used that early. Likely when needing to buy more I would buy an own brand due to cost. Happy with calpol but given the active ingredients are the same and own brand should be just as effective. (Also the taste of calpol is too nice and reminds me of being a child so I am too tempted to have it myself)
