Description

Cipladon 1000mg Effervescent Tablets

Cipladon 1000mg Effervescent Tablets is an effervescent paracetamol tablet that comes in two sizes, a 1000mg tablet and a 500mg tablet. Both dissolve in water to make a fizzy drink. This not only makes for faster pain relief but it’s much easier to dose for children especially those who have difficulty swallowing a tablet.
In addition to paracetamol, the tablets contain two excipients or inactive ingredients: sodium and the sweetener, aspartame.

Therapeutic indications: What Cipladon is used to treat

Paracetamol, also known as acetaminophen in the United States and Japan, is a mild painkiller (analgesic) and antipyretic which is also used to treat fever.1
Therefore, we recommend this drug to treat conditions with mild to moderate pain and fever. Examples include:

• headache including mild migraine and tension headaches
• pain due to sore throats
• Relieving the fever, aches, and pains of colds and flu and, often, muscle pain
• toothache
• backache, rheumatic joint and muscle pains
• period pain (dysmenorrhoea)

Method of administration – how you take Cipladon

The tablets should be placed in at least half a tumbler of warm water and allowed to dissolve completely before swallowing. To take these tablets, you dissolve them in water to make a fizzy drink. Check out this video that shows you how easy it is to take Cipladon.

You then drink that all at once and to be sure that you’ve taken all the medicine, rinse your glass out with some more water and drink that, too. The same procedure applies if you’re dosing a child.

Prescribed dosage amounts

There are different dosages for adults and elderly people as well as for children. Patients should not be given paracetamol for more than 3 days without consulting a doctor.
