PICCAN Teething Remedy is used to treat mild to moderate pain like teething pain, headache, sore throat, aches and pains. PICCAN Teething Remedy contains paracetamol which is an ‘analgesic’ or pain relieving medicine. It is used to relieve pain and reduce high temperatures as in colds and influenza. PICCAN Teething Remedy also contains diphenhydramine hydrochloride which is a sedating antihistamine, which helps reduce sickness and allergic reactions. Prolonged use without medical supervision can be dangerous. If symptoms persist for more than three days consult your doctor. Routine use not recommended. The product should be administered with caution to children with known liver or kidney problems.

Do not use if your child is allergic to paracetamol or diphenhydramine or any of the ingredients.

Immediate medical advice should be sought in the event of an overdose even if the child seems well because of the risk of delayed serious liver damage. Overdose is likely in adults who have taken as little as 10-16g paracetamol (4-6 bottles) or equivalent. Prompt treatment is essential and involves gastric lavage, followed by oral or intra-venous administration of acetylcysteine or alternatively oral methionine. If activated charcoal has been given to absorb paracetamol, this should be eliminated from the stomach prior to using oral acetylcysteine or oral methionine in order to prevent absorption of the antidote.
