Product Information

used starting from 2 months +, meaning that Calpol is there for every stage of your child’s young life, from infants to 6 years +. The Calpol Infant Range Calpol’s advertising slogans of the mid-70s (“Simple answers to everyday babycare problems”, “Gentle and comforting, pleasant tasting too”) positioned it as more than a medicine: a comfort for your child, a solution for you.
