**Important**
Due to stock shortage of Irish licensed packs at the moment approval from the Health Products Regulatory Authority (HPRA) to temporarily supply the corresponding product from the United Kingdom market to fulfil the urgent medical need for the product. These packs are labelled with Calpol Sugar Free Infant Suspension, Batch/Lot No. X4375R, with an expiry date of November 2025.
The pharmaceutical composition of the product is the same, but there are differences in the labelling of the carton and the package leaflet as follows:
Carton
The UK product name is Calpol Sugar Free Infant Suspension. The strength is the same as the Irish licensed product, 120 mg/5 ml, however, the strength (120 mg/5 ml) has not been included in the product name of the UK product on the labelling.
Package Leaflet
There are some additional inconsistencies between the UK and Irish package leaflets, notably, in section 3 of the UK package leaflet, in the dosing instructions for babies aged 2-3 months for post-vaccination fever, the instructions imply that a 2.5 ml dose may be administered up to 4 times in 24 hours. The package leaflet for the Irish licensed product recommends no more than 2 doses are administered in 24 hours unless a doctor or nurse has advised otherwise.
