Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Does Taking Double Dosage Of Calpol Cause Any Side Effects?
i gave my daughters age one and two a normal dose of calpol (7.5ml for 2 year old and 5ml for 1. year old) and about half an hour later my partner has given them another dose same measurements. by mistake will it cause any harm being be only once the double dose has happened. they are fine in themselves amd are asleep now. really worried.
Calpol is quite a safe drug. Though very high doses like ten to twenty times normal dose may be very serious and fatal, only double dose almost never cause any concern. So don't worry about it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
