Alert issued for baby drops syringe A SAFETY advisory has been issued for wrongly marked measuring syringes supplied with Children's Panadol, which could lead to accidental overdoses. The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) says some measuring syringes supplied with Children's Panadol Baby Drops are incorrectly marked. It is asking consumers to check any Children's Panadol Baby Drops syringes they have and if the dosing indicator does not begin from the bottom of the syringe near the tip, they should not use the syringe to measure out medicine. The TGA warns paracetamol, the active ingredients in the drops, is safe and effective when taken as directed on the label but if taken either in overdose or in amounts that exceed the recommended dose for more than a few days, the unwanted effects can be severe.
