Dymadon Paracetamol
27 reviews
Bring back the dosing device! – The effectiveness of the actual medicine is fantastic and daughter will usually take it willingly. Now that the dosing device has been removed, the syringe gets messy and contains a lot of air. A lot of the product is wasted and what used to be an easy, positive experience is ruined. Show details
Plastic plug – As per other reviews, they have removed the plastic plug that holds the syringe to measure dosing. It's messy, goes everywhere and then when you get down to the bottom of the bottle its impossible to use the last of it. I've tried contacting the company but they literally have no contact details other than a phone number. Show details
Easy to use, the strawberry one tastes great which is particularly important when you’re giving Panadol to a toddler Show details
Disappointing change of bottle – Dymadon was my go to. Other brands cherry vanilla flavour is revolting. However I just can’t fathom why they would get rid of the plastic stopper. WHAT A MESS AND A WASTE. We use nurofen for everything now. Show details
Disappointing change to a great product – This has been my go-to pain relief brand for my baby since she was born however the last few bottles I have purchase have been without the syringe insert which enables you to draw the medicine into the syringe. What is further infuriating is this is still shown on the box as an ‘easy dosing method’ however it’s actually messy and causes wasted… Read more
product especially when you’re getting down to the last few doses in the bottle. To be honest I’d pay whatever the extra cost is to have it back if that’s the reason behind it being changed. Please bring it back!
False advertising, no easy dosing device – This used to be a great product until the dosing stopper was removed. So much mess and product waste now. Not happy Show details
No easy dose plug on top despite packaging and website showing there is – Packaging carton shows an easy dose lid, where you can insert the syringe and draw the dose out. Dymadon website shows the same. The actual product just has a normal lid, so it makes a mess, and a lot of medicine is wasted in the process of trying to fill the syringe. It seems to be pot luck as to whether the bottle has the easy dose lid or not. Poor quality control for a pharmaceutical product, and will never buy again Show details
No more plug. Can you get more greedy – They have changed the packaging to no longer include a plug. They promise this does not change the effectiveness (because why would it?) but it does change convenience. I now leave about 1/5 of the bottle because it is impossible to get. Will be moving away Show details
BRING BACK THE DOSING PLUNGY – Beyond a joke getting rid of the plungy money hungry company do not buy this product!
I love this stuff but.....BRING BACK THE DOSING PLUNGY PLEEEEEEEEASE – My daughter takes this willingly and it works well, but I've taken off 3 stars for the fact they've decided (in their infinite wisdom) to remove one of the best features- the thing that sits in the lid so you can stick the syringe in there and tip the bottle upside down. It meant mess-free dosing and no waste. But now its a messy and wasteful exercise, which means less value for money. Very disappointing and ill be switching back to nurofen. Show details
Loving the applicator – This used to come in a plain bottle so even if you used a syringe you'd waste a lot because it's quite viscous and syringes never reach to the bottom. The newer packaging is more like Nurofen (invert the bottle to draw into syringe), great improvement! Sometimes I'd prefer a plastic bottle (tile floors) but you can't have everything.
The only way to get paracetamol into our 1yo – I had always assumed there wasn't much difference between the different brands of children's paracetamol. I was apparently very wrong! Children's/baby panadol makes our 1yo immediately and violently sick (even if given in milk or food) our 3yo has to be coerced and sometimes bribed to take it ("it will make you will feel better!" Is not enough)… Read more
Our doctor recommended we try Dymadon when we mentioned the issues we had with panadol. Dymadon (baby and older versions) does not cause the projectile vomiting in the 1yo who even tries to suck the dregs out of the syringe! The 3yo will take it without having a meltdown. (My children both prefer orange over strawberry which is strange as both love actual strawberries neither likes oranges!) My only negative is that for the older children version the syringe provided is not big enough to deliver the full dose!
Ideal for babies – Bought panadol because my 8 month old was sick - no go, she puked it up straight away and hated us for hours. Looked online and asked the pharmacist. Bought Dymadon - went down like a treat, stayed down and mostly importantly worked. Panadol is going in the bin... Show details

Kids hate it but I like the price – I love that there is another option to panadol since all the marketing we see as parents is panadol panadol panadol. This is cheaper and just as effective. Only issue is my kids hate it, I can’t get them to take this. Not sure if it’s because they’ve been bought up on panadol, but the flavour is definitely heavier or stronger or something. Show details
It's ok but it's not as strong – Better flavour however it's half the strength per mL compared to Panadol and most generics so I have to battle trying to get my son to take twice the amount of liquid. Good if your child likes the flavour but my baby boy fusses either way so I'd rather struggle with 1.5mL not 3.
Best paracetamol out there – Tastes SO much better than that awful vanilla cherry flavor Panadol and most generics use, finally I can get my daughter to take it without a battle every time. Also costs less which is a bonus, and the dosing device is easy to use. Highly recommend this product to anyone struggling to get their little one to take Panadol. My daughter actually asks for more!
Cost effective and good taste – Dymadon literally costs half the price of it's competitors because the dosage needed is less than the others. Tried Panadol and my daughter hated the flavour. Dymadon is always easy to administer (although need to convince her she doesn't need more) and tastes much nicer. Worth a try if Panadol isn't readily accepted.
Effective – I used dymadon for my baby when he had his two months immunization needles and drop. It was the first time that I gave my baby a pain relief and I was a bit worried as my baby has a sensitive tummy. After eating the drops he did not have any pain, slept very well and no tummy issues. He became fussy when I missed a dose and i realised how effective this drop is. Taste and effectiveness Price
The best paracetamol I found, baby loves it and even cries for more !!! – We tried Dymadon following the recent panadol recall. I was hesitant as I trusted the other paracetamol and my son would take it even though he looked like he didn't really like the flavour. My son has been teething and has been in a lot of pain. My son took the first dose quite well, then after the second dose I noticed he really liked the… Read more
flavour, When he sees me walking towards him with the syringe of dymadon he starts smiling and opening his mouth, then when he takes the dose completely he starts to try to lick the syringe and then cry for more!!!
This paracetamol works very well, immediately within 20-30 mins. He has slept well while on dymadon.
My only regret is that I wish I had used Dymadon from the very beginning when he was teething, more mums should really try this product, I recommend it. flavour, syringe, cost large volume (but not sure if this is bad as my son really loves it)
Great stuff – My 4 year old took this while recovering from having his tonsils out. He'd be in terrible pain, but 5 mins after taking this he was so much happier. He won't take panadol, so the nurses put me on to dymadon. For extreme pain we could alternate between dymadon and nurofen, which was really helpful Easy to administer
yummy pain relief – My 3 months old spat out baby panadol but he likes this one. It is very easy to measure it the dosage and very cheap to buy. One thing I don't like about it is sticky. I guess all medicine are like that. I really love the product. I highly recommend it. Thank you. effective pain relief. Very tasty. sticky
Thank you Dymadon! – My 7 month old little miss has just started teething and is having a terrible time of it, we tried everything, baby panadol seemed to have no effect and she would fight not to have it, panadol also seemed to put her off her food, we tried brauer teething medicine and Weleda teething powder, nothing worked. She was up for hours each night crying in… Read more
pain then we discovered Dymadon, at first she fought it thinking it must be more of that yucky stuff but when she tasted it she stopped squirming and sucked the rest out of the syringe, 20 mins later she was relaxed enough to sleep and she slept for 10 hours through the night! Love this stuff, works a charm. Baby likes the taste

The only paracetamol my son would take – My son would not take the baby panadol. After searching and buying all the paracetamol brand in the market, I finally found the one he likes. DYMADON. I tasted it and it doesn't taste as bitter as the other paracetamol. May be because it contains only half paracetamol in every mg compare to other ones. The syringe is good and very smooth. My… Read more
son actually suck it off the syringe.
Every mom should have this in the medicine cupboard if their baby won't take other paracetamol.
It works the same as panadol and take the fever away in the same amount of time.
I am glad I found this med. the only paracetamol that has great flavour, great syringe that comes with it, not as bitter as other paracetamol in the market nothing so far
Put this in your medicine cabinet! – Finally a paracetamol my son will take with out a fight! The flavour is a pleasant orange flavour and is slightly viscous so it doesn't roll straight out of his mouth. The syringe it comes with is great and makes getting the right dose easy. It also comes with a little insert that you can put into the bottle to make it easier to get the liquid out… Read more
but you don't have to use it if you don't want to.
Best kids paracetamol available. Great flavour, easy to use
Everything needed in a children's pain relief – We were recommended Dymadon from a friend whose child did not like Children's Panadol. We tried for many months with Children's Panadol however our son disliked the taste and the applicator system. He would be more upset after Panadol than before. Dymadon has a pleasant flavour and smell, which has my son sucking the medicine from the syringe.… Read more
The syringe itself is gentle enough to be used to push the liquid into his mouth, and the texture is thick enough to help prevent sudden forceful ejection. It also makes it easier to clean up should any be pushed back out.
The price is good for the amount you get, and the supplied syringe + bottle top fitting system means you can get every last drop out with no spills. This system also means that you can get the medicine into the syringe one-handed if you're dexterous, which is a sanity saver with a clingy, unhappy baby. Baby loves the taste and will suck it out of the syringe, excellent value, generous bottle size, gentle administrating syringe, no-spill syringe filling which can be done one-handed if you're dexterous.
Couldn't live without it!! – My son gagged and threw up any paracetamol which we gave him. We tried all brands and he just couldn't keep it down. We then tried neurofen, and it wasn't tolerated either. Dymadon is the only brand which he will tolerate and take without bringing back up, and it is the only brand which we will continue to purchase. I told my local pharmacy… Read more
about dymadon, and they are going to start stocking this brand from now on. inexpensive, babies can tolerate flavour, works well and brings down fever quickly.
Can't live without it – My boys both vomit Panadol back up so I went on the search for a good replacement paracetamol. This is it. It has a fantastic applicator system (which I reuse for antibiotics) and the taste is good. Because of this applicator system you do not waste any so the bottle size is good. The pharmacist told me they stock more of this now because… Read more
Mum's come in daily complaining about their kids not liking or tolerating Panadol. inexpensive, clever applicator system, reliable
