Product Information

Tipol 500mg Suppositories belong to a group of medicines called anti-inflammatory painkillers and are used to relieve mild to moderate pain and fever in adults and children over 12 years. A suppository is a small, torpedo-shaped medicine which is inserted in to the back passage (rectum) and is useful for people who find it difficult to take tablets or syrup.

How To Use

For rectal use only.

The number of suppositories to give your child depends on their age and weight. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice on how many suppositories to give.
The usual dose is:

Adults: 500-1000 mg (1-2 suppositories) to a maximum of 8 in 24 hours.

Children 12-16 years: 500-1000 mg (1-2 suppositories) to a maximum of 6 in 24 hours

Do not use more than 4 doses in any 24-hour period. Leave at least 4 hours between doses. Only use whole suppositories. Do not use for longer than three days without consulting your doctor.

Paracetamol 500mg Suppositories are designed to be inserted in the back passage (rectum).

Always wash your hands before and after using the suppositories.
If you or your child needs to empty their bowels, this should be done before inserting the suppository.
It may be easier to do if your child lies on a bed on their front or side.

The blister should be opened immediately before use. Remove one suppository from the mould. Do not break the suppository.
Moisten the tip of the suppository with a little water before insertion.

Using one finger, slide the suppository as high up into the rectum as it can go without pushing or applying force.

Try to keep your child still or stay still for a minute or two.
If you need to insert more than one suppository, insert them one at a time – there is no need to wait between insertions for the previous suppository to melt – there is plenty of room in the rectum.
