Product Description
Children's fever medicine Tempra Forte contains Paracetamol at a concentration of 250mg per 5ml, relieving pain and reducing fever in children aged 6-12. It is a stronger formula than regular Tempra for younger children, so it suits older kids who need a larger dose per serving without drinking too much syrup. Parents with children of different ages may also want Bebidol, an anti-bloating remedy for infants.
📊 Recommended dose is 10-15 mg/kg per dose, every 4-6 hours, no more than 4 doses in 24 hours
📊 Blood half-life is 1-3 hours, reaching full effect within 30-60 minutes after dosing
📊 Should not be used continuously for more than 5 days, or more than 3 days for fever alone, without seeing a doctor
⚠️ Do not combine with other medicines that also contain paracetamol, as this can lead to accidental overdose

About Tempra Forte
What is Tempra Forte?
Tempra Forte is a fever and pain relief syrup in the Paracetamol class, at a concentration of 250mg per 5ml, made by Taisho Pharmaceutical specifically for children aged 6-12. It works by blocking the substances that trigger fever and pain in the brain's temperature-control center, lowering body temperature and easing discomfort without irritating the stomach the way NSAIDs can. This formula is alcohol-free and aspirin-free, making it suitable for viral fevers such as colds or post-vaccination fever without the aspirin-related risks seen in children. Tempra Forte offers a stronger concentration than the younger children's version, so older kids don't need to drink a large volume per dose.
What is Tempra Forte used for?
It relieves fever from colds, post-vaccination fever, general viral infections, and mild to moderate pain in children such as headache, toothache, earache, sore throat, or body aches from fever. It suits children aged 6-12 whose weight calls for a stronger dose than the younger children's formula provides. This syrup only manages symptoms — it doesn't treat the underlying cause. If fever is due to a bacterial infection or comes with severe symptoms, see a doctor to diagnose the actual cause. If fever after a vaccination doesn't improve within 1-2 days, or runs unusually high with other symptoms, consult a doctor for safety.
How to give Tempra Forte by weight / Dosage
18-22 kg (about 6-7 years): 4.5-5.5 ml
23-27 kg (about 7-8 years): 5.5-7 ml
28-32 kg (about 8-9 years): 7-8 ml
33-37 kg (about 9-10 years): 8-9 ml
38-45 kg (about 11-12 years): 9.5-11 ml
Calculated from the 10-15 mg/kg per dose guideline, repeatable every 4-6 hours, no more than 4 doses in 24 hours. Shake the bottle before each dose so the medicine is evenly mixed, and only use the measuring cup provided — a regular spoon isn't accurate. If your child's weight falls outside this range or they have an underlying condition, consult a pharmacist first. Dose by weight rather than age, since children of the same age can vary widely in weight.
Side effects of Tempra Forte
Generally safe when used at the recommended dose. Some children may experience mild side effects such as nausea, stomach pain, loss of appetite, or an allergic rash, which usually resolve once the medicine is stopped. Continued overdose can cause liver toxicity, the most serious risk with this drug class — watch for excessive vomiting, unusual lethargy, refusal to eat, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or dark urine, and seek medical care immediately if these appear.
Contraindications / Precautions
Do not use in children allergic to paracetamol or with severe liver disease. Do not combine with other medicines that also contain paracetamol, such as combination cold or cough remedies, due to overdose risk. Children under 18 kg should use regular Tempra (120mg/5ml) instead, as it matches their dosing needs better. Children with kidney disease or certain blood disorders should consult a doctor before use, and it should not be used continuously for more than 5 days without medical supervision. Always keep the medicine out of children's reach, since accidental overdose is a leading cause of liver toxicity in young children.
Tempra Forte compared with other paracetamol fever reducers
Sara (Paracetamol) is a 500mg paracetamol tablet for adults, taken 1-2 tablets every 4-6 hours, up to 8 tablets a day, unsuitable for children who cannot swallow tablets and too concentrated per tablet for kids. Tempra Forte is a 250mg/5ml syrup that allows finer weight-based dosing, has a pleasant strawberry taste, and doesn't require swallowing a tablet. In short: choose Tempra Forte for younger children who can't swallow tablets or need finely weight-adjusted dosing, and Sara for adults or older children who can swallow tablets and want better value per dose.
Can Tempra Forte be taken with other medicines?
Avoid combining with other cold or fever medicines that also contain paracetamol, as this can cause accidental overdose. If your child also takes a supplement like Mamarine Kids Forte, that's fine to give alongside since it isn't a fever reducer and has no interaction. For very high fevers where a doctor recommends alternating with an NSAID such as ibuprofen for better fever control, only do so under medical or pharmacist guidance, and always leave at least 4-6 hours between Tempra Forte and any combination cough/cold product containing paracetamol. Also avoid giving it alongside alcohol-containing products, though this is uncommon in children's medicines.
How fast does Tempra Forte work?
After dosing, it starts reducing fever and easing pain within 30-60 minutes, with effects lasting 4-6 hours before blood levels drop, so it can be redosed once that time has passed per the recommended amount. Fever typically drops noticeably within the first 1-2 hours after dosing. If fever hasn't improved at all within 2-3 days, returns quickly and severely, or your child becomes very lethargic or stops drinking fluids, see a doctor to investigate further.

Dose according to the child's weight, not age (see the dosing chart above). Take their temperature before each dose to confirm a fever is present, shake the bottle well, and use the measuring cup provided for accuracy. While waiting for the medicine to work, don't undress or sponge the child to cool them down — per NHS guidance, a high temperature is a natural response to infection. Instead, dress them in light clothing, avoid heavy bedding, and offer plenty of fluids. See a doctor immediately if fever hasn't improved within 2-3 days, is unusually high, or your child has other concerning symptoms such as drowsiness, a stiff neck, or difficulty breathing.
It can be redosed every 4-6 hours, up to 4 doses in 24 hours, and should not be used continuously for more than 5 days, or more than 3 days for fever alone, without consulting a doctor. If fever control needs more frequent dosing than this, talk to a doctor rather than increasing the amount or frequency yourself.
Tempra Forte contains 250mg of paracetamol per 5ml for children aged 6-12, while regular Tempra (Tempra Kids) contains 120mg per 5ml for younger children aged 1-6. The different concentrations keep the per-dose volume appropriate for each age group's typical weight. This store carries the Forte formula only — for children under 6, look for the regular formula at a pharmacy.
Avoid other medicines that also contain paracetamol, such as combination cold or cough remedies, to prevent accidental overdose. General vitamins or supplements can be given alongside as usual. If a doctor recommends alternating with a different class of fever reducer, follow their guidance only.
See a doctor right away if the temperature reaches 39°C or higher, fever lasts more than 3 days, or your child shows lethargy, seizures, breathing trouble, a rash, or refuses fluids. Even with a lower fever, if your child seems unusually unwell or has other concerning symptoms, it's still worth checking with a doctor.
Give it as soon as you remember if the next dose isn't due soon; if it's almost time for the next dose, skip it. Never double the dose to make up for a missed one, as this raises the risk of overdose.
Not recommended, as the 250mg/5ml concentration is too strong for younger, lighter children. Use regular Tempra (120mg/5ml), designed for children aged 1-6, instead, so the per-dose amount stays appropriate and safe.
Watch for rash, itching, facial, lip, or eye swelling, or breathing difficulty after dosing, usually within a few hours of taking it. Stop the medicine immediately and see a doctor if these occur, and avoid all paracetamol-containing products afterward.
