What is Apiretal 100 mg Oral Solution and what is it used for?

It is a medicine specially formulated to combat the symptoms of fever and for the relief of mild to moderate pain in children from 0 to 10 years of age.

It comes in a handy 60 ml bottle.

Who it is intended for

Suitable for use in children up to 32 kg, from 0 months to 10 years of age.

Directions for use

The recommended dose is 60 mg/kg/day, at intervals of 6-4 hours, according to need and intensity of symptoms, following the guidelines indicated in the table below:

  • Up to 4 kg (0 to 3 months): 0.6 ml (60 mg), equivalent to 15 drops.

  • Up to 7 kg (4 to 8 months): 1.0 ml (100 mg), equivalent to 25 drops.

  • Up to 8 kg (9 to 11 months): 1.2 ml (120 mg), equivalent to 30 drops.

  • Up to 10.5 kg (12 to 23 months): 1.6 ml (160 mg), equivalent to 40 drops.

  • Up to 13 kg (from 2 to 3 years): 2.0 ml (200 mg).

  • Up to 18.5 kg (4 to 5 years): 2.8 ml (280 mg)

  • Up to 24 kg (6 to 8 years): 3.6 ml (360 mg)

  • Up to 32 kg (9 to 10 years): 4.8 ml (480 mg)

Thus, the appropriate dose would be 15 mg/kg every 6 hours or 10 mg/kg every 4 hours.

In children weighing less than 7 kg, suppositories should be considered if this route of administration is clinically feasible.

In children under 3 years of age, a doctor's prescription is recommended for the use of paracetamol.

Contraindications

Do not use Apiretal 100 mg if you are hypersensitive to paracetamol or any of the excipients, in hepatocellular disorders, phenylketonuria, dehydration, etc.

Special care should be taken in patients with chronic alcoholism, renal failure, heart failure, pulmonary disorders and anaemia, among others.

Although no problems have been reported in pregnant women, a doctor should always be consulted before use.

No problems have been reported during lactation, although a doctor should always be consulted before use, as maximum concentrations of 10-15 microlitres/ml have been found in milk 2 hours after ingestion.

Consult a doctor if you are taking medicines such as chloramphenicol, propranolol, probenecid, metoclopramide, domperidone, rifampicin, lamotrigine, isoniazid, among others, as plasma levels of these or paracetamol may be affected, increasing or decreasing, causing toxicity or shielding the effect relatively.

In particular, hypersensitivity reactions (urticaria, anaphylactic shock), general malaise, agranulocytosis, thromobocytopenia, hypoglycaemia, increased transaminases, hepatotoxicity, cloudy urine, among others, have been reported.
