About Amolpol Drops
Amolpol Drops is a paediatric analgesic and antipyretic formulation containing Paracetamol 100 mg per ml. It is specially designed for infants and very young children who need precise, easy-to-measure doses for fever reduction and mild pain relief.
The concentrated drop format of Amolpol Drops makes accurate dosing simple, and the formulation is gentle on tiny tummies. It is one of the most trusted fever-relieving preparations recommended by paediatricians across India.
Uses of Amolpol Drops
This medicine is commonly used for:
- Reducing fever in infants and young children
- Relieving teething pain and mild pain after vaccinations
- Managing mild to moderate pain from ear infections or colds
- Post-immunisation fever relief in babies
- Comfort relief during minor illnesses in infants
Indications
Paracetamol is indicated for the symptomatic relief of mild to moderate pain and pyrexia in paediatric patients. It is used in conditions such as post-immunisation pyrexia, febrile illness, teething pain, otitis media, and upper respiratory tract infections in infants and toddlers where analgesia and antipyresis are required.
How Amolpol Drops Works
Amolpol Drops works by reducing the production of fever-causing chemicals (prostaglandins) in the brain, which helps bring down high body temperature. It also raises the pain threshold, meaning the brain perceives pain as less intense. It works relatively quickly and is safe for infants when used as directed.
Mechanism of Action
Paracetamol exerts its antipyretic effect by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis in the central nervous system, acting predominantly on the hypothalamic heat-regulating centre to lower elevated body temperature. Its analgesic action is mediated centrally, likely through inhibition of COX-3 isoenzyme activity and modulation of the descending serotonergic pain pathways. Unlike NSAIDs, Paracetamol has minimal peripheral anti-inflammatory activity and does not inhibit platelet aggregation or irritate the gastric mucosa at therapeutic doses.
Key Benefits
- Concentrated drops allow accurate, weight-appropriate dosing for tiny infants
- Fast-acting fever and pain relief suitable from a very young age
- Gentle on the stomach — no gastric irritation at therapeutic doses
- Widely trusted and recommended by paediatricians
Did You Know?
Paracetamol has been used safely in children for over 60 years and remains the first-line fever and pain medicine recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) for paediatric use due to its excellent safety profile when dosed correctly.
When & How to Take
Amolpol Drops should be given only as directed by your paediatrician. The dose is based on the child's weight and age. Do not give more than the prescribed amount or more frequently than recommended. Always use the measuring dropper provided.
Always follow the dosage and schedule advised by your doctor — this is general guidance only.
Possible Side Effects
Paracetamol drops are generally very well tolerated in infants when given at the correct dose. Rarely, mild stomach discomfort or a skin rash may occur. Overdose can cause serious liver problems, so never exceed the prescribed dose. Tell your doctor if any side effect is severe or persistent.
Precautions & Safety
- Always dose based on the child's current weight as advised by the paediatrician
- Do not give alongside other paracetamol-containing products to avoid overdose
- Store in a cool, dry place and keep away from children's reach
- Do not use if the infant has known liver problems without doctor approval
- Consult a doctor if fever persists beyond two days or if the child seems very unwell
Myths vs Facts
Giving a double dose of paracetamol drops will bring down fever faster.
Doubling the dose does not speed up fever reduction and significantly increases the risk of liver toxicity. Always follow the weight-based dose your paediatrician prescribes.
If a baby still has a slight temperature after paracetamol drops, the medicine is not working.
A slight residual temperature can be normal — paracetamol reduces fever to a safer range rather than always bringing it to exactly 37°C. If fever does not come down at all or worsens, consult your doctor.
