AUSTRALIA'S medicines regulatory body is reminding parents to check incorrectly marked measuring syringes supplied with Children's Panadol Drops.
And if they feel they might have given their child an overdose, they should contact the Poisons Information Centre or their doctor.
That follows an update on Tuesday to a safety advisory from the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) last week, warning that a misaligned label on the syringe could lead to an accidental overdose.
"The harmful effects of large amounts of paracetamol on the liver are usually delayed, so children may feel well for the first day after an overdose but become very sick after that," TGA said on its website.
Medicines company GlaxoSmithKline launched a recall of the product from pharmacies last week. It said this appeared to be a rare incident that posed a low safety risk.
The TGA said the problem was only with the syringe, not with the accompanying medicine.
