Perfection lies in the imperfect moments

Part of being a parent is accepting that there’s no such thing as being a perfect one. Raising children is full of wonderful twists and dramatic turns. That’s why you need a network of people who understands the pressures of parenthood; a support group who understands why there’s a Sippy-cup in your handbag.

At Calpol Kids, we know that anything can happen, which is why we’re here to help you with the challenging moments, like when a fever starts. Calpol starts to work in 15 minutes¹⁴⁵ and brings symptomatic relief of pain, such as headache, teething pains and fever associated with colds and flu.
