Was Calpol in 2007 really a sedative?

[Redblossom]

That would seem logical, wouldn't it ?

but difficult...depends on the subject though and if people are working together or against!

[Redblossom]

A calpol generation..I haven't read his book but if this is the standard then it must be full of absolute rubbish. The man has not got a clue.

Typical!!!
 


For years in the UK there has been a dub of the calpol generation, eg two articles one from 2005 and the other as late as 2013.... Im sure theres loads more if you google....Cant blame Amaral for THAT! But you will, true to form!!

Twelve million bottles and packets of Calpol, the infant form of paracetamol, are sold every year, indicating that British children are now the Calpol generation

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/children_shealth/3314633/Are-we-using-too-much-Calpol.html

The bottle with lurid pink mixture, that is: Calpol. It shifts 12 million units a year in the UK, and a study in 2007 found that 84 per cent of children had been given paracetamol by the age of six months. Such is our dependence on this formula that we have been dubbed the Calpol Generation.

and of course when people state they are experts on the subject......................

Even experts get things wrong.....theres nothing as utterly sad and desperate though as a person, lay or expert, who says he gets nothing wrong  or wont admit he has got somethng wrong when proved so....


Then theres the self appointed moral pontificators, priests and popes.....




as sad as selling xmas cards in september! And easter eggs in december...

Scarcely a universally held view.

Here is the full quote (from the article above)

Twelve million bottles and packets of Calpol, the infant form of paracetamol, are sold every year, indicating that British children are now the Calpol generation. That is the view of German-born Silke Moser, a mother of two.

The view of one, German-born woman ...

 I think you need to read the articles and perhaps understand them...do you know any parents who give calpol to help children sleep..

in the Uk calpol is widely used to reduce temperatures in children,,,stop believing the rubbish you read in the papers...there is no abuse of calpol in the uk

And more refs to calpol generation.....the POINT was it was not Amarals made up rubbish as Davel claimed

Cheers big ears

 is this your new mantra Stephen...must say it beats the no evidence of abduction

[Mr Gray]

If it assuages pain it may well be referred to as a sedative.

that's quite a stupid statement

Very last paragraph:

A spokesman said: ‘The change  is to ensure children get the optimal dose of paracetamol suitable for their age. It is not because of  safety concerns.’

Must have missed where it says anything about a 'calpol generation'.

Nah, hardly.

However, a relevant question for ferryman.

[Mr Gray]

Nah, hardly.

However, a relevant question for ferryman.

 You don't need to be an expert to know that calpol  is an analgesic and not a sedative...perhaps on a serious note a Portuguese poster might tell us what is used in Portugal for childrens fevers...perhaps amaral just hadn't spent enough time with his children to be aware of how common these can be. Children are not very good at controlling their temperatures and can develop dangerously high temperatures quickly . Anyone experienced a child with a febrile convulsion

yes you missed it as its in the article...go to specsavers....as you continue to miss or ignore or both,  the point, that the term calpol generation is not attributable to mr amaral as davel claimed,  but to uk publications....never mind...carry on  detracting its what you do best......

[ferryman]

It was and it did contain a mild sedative. Drugs were changed after 2009. I know when my kids were young it did.
