Gbomoro Syrup 100ml - Relief for Fever and Teething in Babies
Gbomoro Syrup, also known as Gbomoro Baby Mixture, is a trusted pediatric medicine in Nigeria designed to manage pain and reduce fever in infants and young children. Manufactured by Nigerian-German Chemicals PLC, this 100ml syrup combines conventional pharmaceutical ingredients with a blend of essential oils.
What is the work of Gbomoro Syrup?
Gbomoro Syrup is primarily used as an analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer). It is a popular choice for:
- Fever and Flu Symptoms: Helping to lower high body temperatures and soothe discomfort from the common cold.
- Teething Pain: Providing relief for babies experiencing irritability and gum pain during teething.
- Inuwo (Colic Relief): Traditionally used in Nigeria to help soothe infant colic and general restlessness.
- Minor Aches: Managing headaches and body aches in children.
Active Ingredients
The effectiveness of Gbomoro comes from its dual-action formula:
- Paracetamol (120mg per 5ml): A reliable ingredient for reducing pain and fever.
- Compound Oil Tincture: A blend of oils that provides a soothing effect and helps with mild respiratory congestion.
Dosage and Administration
Follow the recommended dosage based on your child's age. For accuracy, always use a measuring spoon or syringe.
- 3 months to 1 year: 2.5ml (half a teaspoon)
- 1 to 5 years: 5ml (one teaspoon)
- 6 to 12 years: 10ml (two teaspoons) Administer 3 to 4 times daily. Shake the bottle well before use.
Safety Warning: Paracetamol Overdose
Gbomoro Syrup contains Paracetamol. Do not give this medicine to your child if they are already taking other paracetamol-containing products (such as Panadol, Emzor Paracetamol, or Calpol). Combining these can lead to a dangerous overdose. If symptoms persist for more than 48 hours, consult a healthcare professional or speak with a GoMed pharmacist.
