GSK reassures our valued customers that there is no safety risk associated with any Children’s Panadol product as a result of this injunction.
GSK denies the allegations of patent infringement on the dosing device and looks forward to a successful resolution of the proceeding when all the evidence becomes available.
The dosing device consists of a neck plug in the bottle and a syringe that fits into the neck plug to withdraw liquid.
GSK is working on an alternative dosing device to minimise any disruption to the availability of new Children’s Panadol 1-5 Years suspensions.
The injunction relates to the new Panadol Children’s 1-5 Years suspension products only. Panadol Children’s Baby Drops, Panadol Children’s 5-12 Years Elixir and the new Panadol Children’s 5-12 Years suspensions are not impacted by this injunction. A healthcare professional should be consulted for advice to determine what other Panadol Children’s product may be appropriate for use if the new Children’s Panadol 1-5 Years product is not available.
