Aim: To evaluate the sweetening agent concentrations and pH in several brands of paracetamol syrups and identify the syrup that has the lowest pH and amount of sweetening agent.

Methods: In this study, 10 paracetamol syrups used in age group 0-3 years and 3-6 years were analyzed to find the brand at least and maximum sugar concentration using lane Eynon general volumetric method. pH of all the syrups were determined using pH paper.

Results: Sugar concentration was found to be in a range of (0.87%-11.18%) with brand P 125 drops (apex) 0.87% containing least concentration and brand Calpol 250 (GSK) containing a maximum concentration of 11.18%. pH of paracetamol syrups ranged from 5.33-6.68 with Calpol 250 (Dawaadost) containing lowest pH 5.33 and Dolopar 125 (Micro) had the highest pH of 6.68.

Conclusion: Children are more likely to suffer from dental caries and dental erosion. Candy and syrups prescribed for different infections are important factors. In order to make it safer and more advantageous, sugar substitutes that are not possibly cariogenic can be used in place of the original sugar in order to reduce the cariogenic aspects and syrups with lowest pH can be avoided to counteract its acidogenic potential.
