Introduction About LOTEMP SUSPENSION

Lotemp Suspension is a painkiller and anti-pyretic medicine. It is used in children to temporarily relieve mild to moderate pain such as headache, toothache, migraine, nerve pain, sore throat, period pains and general aches and helps to reduce fever (high body temperature). Also, it relieves symptoms of cold and flu. It contains paracetamol as an active ingredient that reduces fever and pain.

Paracetamol relieves pain by increasing the pain threshold by inhibiting certain enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2) involved in the synthesis of chemicals responsible for inducing pain (prostaglandins). It reduces fever by directly acting on heat-regulating centers in the brain, resulting in vessel relaxation, sweating and loss of body heat.

Always give Lotemp Suspension to your child as advised by the doctor. Shake well before use. Recommended dosage for children 1 to 3 years of age is 2.5ml (half teaspoon) four times a day and for children 4 to 8 years of age is 7.5ml (1½ teaspoon) four times a day or as directed by the doctor. Do not exceed the recommended daily dosage. Use a measuring cup to properly measure the dose. Do not give Lotemp Suspension to your child if your child is allergic to any of its components.
