So I was advised by the midwife to take paracetamol for my back but it's the one tablet I really struggle with as I overdosed on it a few years back and ever since the smell and taste really just everything about it makes me vomit. So I was wondering if anyone knows if it's be okay to take Calpol as it's really just paracetamol in a liquid mixture ?

Could you not take the dispersible ones?x

You could just mash it up and put it in a drink? Or get dispersable ones? Xx

@melaniespiritualist they also cause me to feel sick I've tried different forms of paracetamol but I just can't stomach them anymore my main pain relief before I was pregnant was ibruprofen but since being pregnant I can't have it 😭

I have to not be able to taste it other which is why I thought of Calpol as it's really sweet

Yes you can take the calpol as long as it's just the paracetamol one not the ibuprofen. Just take the equivalent dose of it in the liquid form

@kszczygiel88 I'll double check the packaging :) Thank you

If I remember correctly 5ml of calpol is 120mg paracetamol if that helps x

@melaniespiritualist I'm useless with ml and mg but my boyfriend will probably know what is what aha :) x

Find out how many mg of paracetamol you can have, and then 1 syringe or medicine spoon of calpol counts as 120mg x

@melaniespiritualist will do

You can probably have between 500 and 1000 mg but just double check to make sure. Good luck doll x
