Powder-type child antipyretic analgesics have been released

for the first time in Korea

Improved convenience of taking liquid and syrup types and tablets

Johnson & Johnson Korea (CEO Baek Joon-hyuk) announced on the 9th that it has released the first powder-type children's antipyretic painkiller Children's Tylenol powder 160 mg in Korea.

 

Children's Tylenol powder has various effects such as headache, neuralgia, muscle pain, sprain pain, menstrual pain, toothache, and joint pain, as well as fever and pain caused by a cold, so it can be widely used for fever and labor.

 

The new product with the unique technology of Tylenol, an original Acetaminophen product, is a fever reducer of "powder formulation" that relieves the discomfort of liquid and syrup types and improves the convenience of taking pills for consumers who are unable to swallow them.

 

As soon as the powder touches the tongue, it melts immediately in 23 seconds, so it can be taken without water, and it is easy to carry in the form of a stick pouch.

 

It can be eaten quickly and comfortably with a small amount, so the packaging material can be used hygienically without touching the mouth.

 

Children's Tylenol powder has both taste and effect with its special coating.

 

The special coating of Ethyl cellulose in children's Tylenol powder prevents the bitter taste of Acetaminophen from the tongue.

 

Wild berries and natural berries make it easy for children who had difficulty taking medicine without feeling repulsed.

 

Parents who had to watch their children refuse the medicine for reasons such as taste, formulation, and dosage will be able to provide new options to save them the trouble of taking the medicine.

 

The age of taking is children aged 7 to 12 years old (can be taken by elementary school students with a weight of more than 23kg), and the recommended dose is taken directly every 4-6 hours without water.

 

It should not be taken more than 5 times a day (75 mg/kg).

 

It is sold at pharmacies based on 12 bags per product, and if you need to divide it separately, it is recommended to fold the pouch and divide it into small quantities such as measuring cups or spoons provided at home.

 

"Children's Tylenol Powder is the first powder-type new product in Korea that can meet needs for young children who have difficulty swallowing pills or children who are too big to eat syrup, in the form of 15mg powder per packet," said Kim Hanna, a group manager at Johnson & Johnson's self-care division.

 

She said, "At this point when the risk of children's COVID-19 infection continues, child Tylenol powder is expected to function as a home remedy for more convenient management of fever pains for the whole family."
