Daga Syrup is a widely used pediatric medication specifically engineered to provide rapid relief from pain and fever in infants and young children. It contains Paracetamol (also known as Acetaminophen), a clinically proven analgesic and antipyretic. It works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins in the central nervous system, which are the chemicals responsible for signaling pain and elevating body temperature. This makes Daga Syrup an essential first-line treatment for childhood discomforts, from teething to post-immunization fevers.
Product Type: Analgesic and Antipyretic (Pain & Fever Reliever)
Active Ingredient: Paracetamol (125mg per 5ml)
Manufacturer: Sygen Pharmaceuticals (formerly Nigerian-German Chemicals PLC)
Pack Size: 60ml or 100ml Liquid Bottle

This syrup is a foundational remedy for common pediatric ailments:
Fever Reduction: Lowering high body temperatures caused by infections, colds, or the flu.
Teething Pain: Soothing the gum soreness and irritability associated with new teeth.
Post-Vaccination Fever: Managing the mild fever and site pain that often follow routine childhood immunizations.
Mild to Moderate Pain: Relieving headaches, earaches, and general body aches.
Common Cold Symptoms: Assisting in child comfort during viral upper respiratory infections.
Liver Health: Paracetamol is processed by the liver. Never exceed the recommended dose, as an overdose can cause severe, permanent liver damage. Check Other Meds: Many "cold and flu" syrups also contain paracetamol. Do not give Daga Syrup alongside other medications containing the same active ingredient to avoid accidental overdose. Allergy Alert: Although rare, if your child develops a skin rash, swelling of the face, or difficulty breathing, stop use and seek emergency medical care immediately. Age Restriction: Generally not recommended for babies under 2 months of age unless specifically directed by a doctor.
For maximum efficacy and safety, Daga Syrup should be dosed according to the child's weight or age, with at least 4 to 6 hours between doses.
Standard Dosage (125mg/5ml):
3–6 Months: 2.5ml (up to 4 times in 24 hours).
6–24 Months: 5ml (up to 4 times in 24 hours).
2–4 Years: 7.5ml (up to 4 times in 24 hours).

Application Tips:
Measure Accurately: Always use the measuring cup or oral syringe provided in the pack. Do not use a standard kitchen spoon.
Maximum Daily Limit: Do not give more than 4 doses in any 24-hour period.
Shake Well: Briefly shake the bottle before measuring to ensure the paracetamol is evenly distributed in the syrup.
Food/Water: It can be given with or without food. If the child finds the taste strong, it can be followed by a small drink of water or milk.
When used at the correct dosage, side effects are extremely rare. Some children may experience mild digestive upset. Serious side effects like skin rashes or blood disorders are very rare. If your child remains unusually drowsy, vomits persistently, or the fever does not drop after 2–3 days, consult a pediatrician immediately.
Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C, protected from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is screwed on tightly after each use to maintain the syrup's quality. Keep out of reach of children.
Q: Can I give Daga Syrup for "Body Pains" after a fall?
A: Yes. It is an effective painkiller for minor injuries, bumps, and bruises in children.
Q: How fast does it work?
A: You can expect the fever to begin dropping within 30 to 60 minutes after administration.
Q: My child threw up right after taking it. Should I give another dose?
A: If the child vomited within 15 minutes of taking the syrup, you can usually repeat the dose. If it was more than 30 minutes later, the medication has likely been absorbed. If unsure, contact our pharmacist.
Q: Is it safe for "Asthmatic" children?
A: Yes, paracetamol is generally the preferred pain reliever for children with asthma, as it does not typically trigger symptoms like ibuprofen or aspirin can.
