We have been using Medised for our little boy for a few months now, only in extreme circumstances mind you, and I have to say that it really has helped him to cloud out some of the pain he has been experiencing.

I try to avoid giving my baby boy any form of medicine as much as possible, but as most parents wil know, sometimes it's a must. He is 11 months old at the moment, and for the last couple of months has been going through his teething period. Not only is this obviously painful for him, but it also distrupts his sleep .. and how babies need their sleep.

I like to give him half the recommended dosage to begin with, and only give him the other half if I feel he needs it. An advantage that Medised has over many other infant pain relief medicines, is that it can be mixed in with the baby's milk, so there's no need to mess about with spoons or syringes, which often leads to more of the stuff ending up all over the baby's face as opposed to in their mouth.

The syrup is strawberry flavoured, which helps the baby or infant to take to it. Medised contains Paracetamol, for pain relief from teething, sore throat, headaches and high temperatures caused by colds and flu. It also contains Diphenhydramine, which is present to clear blocked and stuffy noses, and to help with restful sleep.
Instructions and dosages are clearly stated on the box, and Medised also has a website for attitional information, with an faq page for concerned parents. Medicines for babies is alway an important topic, rightly so, especially when there have been occassions where some medicines have been taken off the shelves for health reasons. Parents have a right to be concerned. Medised, from all the information I have gathered, seems to be one of the safer medicines on the market, and one that is recommended by many experts. I have to say that my little boy has not experienced any side effects from Medised, apart from the stated drowsyness which helps the baby off to sleep, and it most certainly has helped him to settle and relieve pain when he has needed it the most.
Medised is generally available in 100ml and 200ml bottles, with the 100ml bottles starting from around £3 a bottle, and the 200ml from around £4.50. The bottle comes with a safety twist cap, which I find hard to open at the best of times, so should my little one ever get hold of a bottle, I'd be pretty confident the he wouldn't be able to. I would definitely recommend Medised, although I would also recommend that all parents do a little research into the product, as with any infant medicinal product, just to make sure that it is suitable for them, and that they are happy to give it to their little ones.
Advantages: Relieves pain and fevers, encourages sleep, tastes nice. Disadvantages: Over-the-counter. Cannot be used indefinately.

Its active ingredients are Paracetamol and Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride (also known as Benadryl, Benylin or Nytol).

It seems to relieve my little one of every cold and ‘flu symptom that might otherwise keep her awake.

With the medicine comes a clear plastic 5ml spoon for administering, although it does state on the package that the dose may be mixed with a little milk or fruit juice for convenience. Just 5ml is sufficient for babies from 3 months up to ...

...mother in law to try Medised as an alternative, and lo and behold we have had some absolutely brilliant nights sleep and Alex has had very fast and effective relief and he doesn't drool or spit it out!!!
I would suggest this to anyone whose child doesn't get on with Calpol or other types of paracetamol relief. The added bonus with Medised is that it has a decongestant ingredient put in with it which does wonders for the sniffles.
We bought the ... ...of abut 4 days are about halfway through the bottle. Pricewise it compares pretty favourably with Calpol at £3.88 for the 100ml bottle, but unfortunately I can't remember the next size up though I think it was 250ml for about £4.50.
Another good thing is that it is sugar free, so good news for the toothy pegs!
All in all, I think it is essential buying if you have an infant in the house, especially if they are prone to colds etc.
Just a little ...

...from a spoon,or the flavour medised can be put in juice or milk, thus disguising the taste and hopefully getting your little one to take their medicine with a minimum amount of stress.
As it contains paracetamol you use it instead of your usual paracetamol product and I have found it to be better than just plain calpol for example as it not only reduces pain and fever but aids a restful sleep too.
The first time i gave this to my eldest daughter, ...
