Product introduction
Crocin Baby Drops is a peppermint-flavoured paracetamol suspension made specifically for infants and young children who cannot swallow tablets. Parents typically use it to settle a mild fever after vaccination or during common childhood illnesses like colds. Because dosing for babies depends heavily on body weight rather than age alone, the bottle comes with a calibrated dropper to help measure an accurate amount. It is intended for short courses of use, not as a routine daily medicine.
Storage: Store at room temperature, away from direct light and moisture.
