How it works
Panadol Junior suppositories contain paracetamol, an ingredient that has been used worldwide for decades due to its analgesic and antipyretic properties. The suppository form ensures gradual absorption via the intestinal mucosa, which is a solution when oral intake is not desirable or possible. As your trusted health partner, we understand that accuracy is essential for children; therefore, this product is carefully tailored to specific weight classes and ages.
