❌ MYTH: Children can take adult painkillers in smaller doses

✅ TRUTH: Always use children's formulations!

Children's paracetamol and ibuprofen are specially designed for young bodies. Adult medicines can be dangerous even in small amounts.

📏 Dosing by weight is more accurate than age
⏰ Never give more than the recommended dose
💊 Keep medicines out of reach of children

Got questions about children's medicines? Our team is here to help.

❌ MYTH: Antibiotics work on colds and flu

✅ TRUTH: Antibiotics only kill bacteria, not viruses

Most colds and flu are caused by viruses, so antibiotics won't help.

Taking them when you don't need them means they might not work when you REALLY need them.
