Directions for Use
Give Pelcin Syrup to your child with food or milk to prevent an upset stomach. Your child should not take more than four doses of this medicine in 24 hours, so wait up to 6 hours between doses. Never give any other medicine formulation containing paracetamol along with this medicine as that may lead to serious side effects. Inform the doctor if your child has liver disease as the dose may need to be adjusted. If Pelcin Syrup does not seem to be helping your child, contact your doctor for advice. Do not give extra doses.
How it works
Pelcin Syrup possesses analgesic (pain-reliever) and antipyretic (lowers body temperature) properties. It provides relief by blocking certain chemical messengers and pathways in the brain that send signals about pain and fever.

Frequently asked questions
What is the recommended dosage of Pelcin Syrup for my child?
The commonly recommended dose of Pelcin Syrup for your child is 10-15 mg/kg per dose every 4 to 6 hours. It's essential to follow your doctor's instructions regarding how much medicine to give and how often to give it, as this depends on the strength of the medicine and the age of your child.
When can I expect my child's condition to improve after taking Pelcin Syrup?
Pelcin Syrup usually starts working within 30 to 60 minutes of intake and shows its peak effect within 3 to 4 hours. Your child may start to feel better after a few doses, but if the pain or fever persists longer, consult your child's doctor immediately.
What should I do if my child vomits after taking Pelcin Syrup?
If your child vomits within 30 minutes of taking Pelcin Syrup, repeat the dose again. If it has been more than 30 minutes after taking Pelcin Syrup and your child vomits, no need to repeat the dose and wait until it is time for the next dose. However, if you're unsure, consult your doctor.
Can I give Pelcin Syrup to my child for a low-grade fever?
You can give this medicine if your child has a temperature of 38.3°C (101°F) or higher, but it's essential to consult your child's doctor first.
What should I do if my child's fever persists even after taking Pelcin Syrup?
If the fever doesn't come down after the initial few doses, the cause might be an infection (virus or bacteria). It is advised to consult your child's doctor for specific treatment.
What constitutes an overdose of Pelcin Syrup?
You should only take four doses of Pelcin Syrup in 24 hours. There should be a gap of at least 4-6 hours between two doses. Taking more than 250 mg/kg can lead to toxicity and may be potentially fatal, causing serious damage to the liver and kidneys.
Does my child need to follow any special diet while taking this medicine?
Unless instructed by your doctor, your child should take a normal balanced diet while continuing this medicine as lack of nutrition can put your child at risk of developing medicinal toxicity.
In what conditions should Pelcin Syrup be given with caution?
It is advised to use Pelcin Syrup with caution if the child has malnutrition, G6PD deficiency, liver disease, or any medicinal allergy. It's essential to share your child's complete medical history with the doctor to decide whether the medicine is safe for your child.
How should I store this medicine?
Keep this medicine at room temperature in a dry place beyond the reach of children.
Can I give Pelcin Syrup on a routine basis when my child is taking a vaccine?
It is always suggested not to give this medicine with vaccines that lead to fever, as it may reduce the efficacy of the vaccine. Consult your doctor for further guidance.
