Key Details & Uses
Dosage Guidelines
Always check the product packaging for precise measurements, or follow the specific instructions from your pediatrician. A standard dosing guide is:
3 months to 1 year: 2.5ml (½ teaspoon) 3 to 4 times daily.
1 to 5 years: 5ml to 10ml (1 to 2 teaspoons) 3 to 4 times daily.
6 years and older: 10ml to 20ml (2 to 4 teaspoons) 3 times daily.
Rule of Thumb: Allow at least 4 hours between doses.
Important Safety Considerations
Avoid Overdose: Because it contains Paracetamol, you must avoid giving your child additional standalone paracetamol syrups while using Piccan to prevent accidental overdose.
Medical Guidance: Pediatricians frequently note that teething is a normal developmental process. Many advise against routine medication use unless symptoms like severe pain or high fever are clearly present. Always consult with a doctor if symptoms persist for more than 3 days.
