Overview & Mechanism of Action
- Anamol Paediatric Suspension (60ml) is a liquid analgesic and antipyretic formulation designed for safe and precise administration in paediatric care. Containing active paracetamol (acetaminophen), it targets pain and fever pathways through central mechanism actions:
- Central Antipyretic Action (Paracetamol): Acts directly on the heat-regulating center of the hypothalamus in the brain. It inhibits central prostaglandin synthesis, triggering peripheral vasodilation and sweating to rapidly dissipate excess body heat and lower fever.
- Analgesic Pain Relief: Elevates the pain threshold centrally to relieve localized body aches, teething discomfort, sore throat, and headaches without causing central sedation.
- Gentle Gastric Profile: Unlike non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen or aspirin, paracetamol does not irritate the stomach mucosa or cause gastrointestinal bleeding, making it safe for delicate paediatric digestive systems.
Clinical Indications
- Anamol Paediatric Suspension 60ml is indicated for:
- Rapid reduction of fever associated with viral infections, common cold, flu, and childhood illnesses
- Management of post-immunization fever and localized discomfort following childhood vaccinations
