A mummies staple! Works well but for my child ibuprofen works better especially for high temperature. Use this for teething and general malaise.

This is a very good product, an institution amongst mums. I use it as it is a trusted brand but do feel that other products and supermarket brands are catching up and for a more reasonable price with the same active ingredients. That said I still feel Calpol is a safe and all round good product.

I used this product after our daughters immunisations as advised by my GP -came on a great bottle with easy syringe attaching dispenser included. No adverse effects reported and seemed to be able to swallow liquid easily although the syringe size rather large for a babies mouth

It works really quickly when my little one is teething, she also likes the flavour so it makes it easy to give it to her. Only downside is the cost is a bit high, the active ingredient of the own brands is the same so they should work just as well.
