Say hi to a lesser popular brand of Paracetamol (for kids)

BIOGIC Syrup (NOT…INGAT!!!)

I AM NOT AN EXPERT. I AM A MOTHER, A FREELANCER, AND A BLOGGER WANNABEE (naks! Haha). I AM NOT AN EXPERT. ALSO, THIS POST IS NOT POLITICAL!!!! I AM NOT AN EXPERT!!!

I understand that humans as we are, with the influence of mass media, we could be very particular with brands especially when it comes to medicines. We often associate popular brands with efficacy. Who can blame us? What we see on TV ads, with famous celebrity endorsers, we pick right off the bat. Without questions. With the dwindling commercial stocks of medicines due to this “dreaded season” (not to mention CoViD19), it is high time to meticulously choose other medicines that are not famous to include in your stash. You may want to try BIOGIC (syrup).

Biogic became the derision of some for lacking one syllable and for sounding like a rip off of you-already-know what brand. This is not an issue of syllabication or of sounding like a genuine score, but a question of efficacy and value for money. BIOGIC PARACETAMOL (syrup)is for real.

Shortly after the New Year’s Celebration, Mikmok got sick. To save a few moolahs, we asked assistance from Calabayog City Mayor’s Office/CMO (which we have been doing since he was born). The CMO’s staff issued (for free) BIOGIC syrup Paracetamol , Cetirizine, a couple vitamins, and AERO-VENT nebules (We have yet to try the vits and God-forbid Cetirizine). BIOGIC and AERO-VENT worked perfectly. In fact, I noticed that BIOGIC is as equally effective for Mikmok, if not more, than the leading brand. His fever went soaring at 39.1 degrees Celsius and BIOGIC efficiently knocked it on a beat down and it never went that high again. Do not get me wrong, I am not sure whether it was a matter of timing and the incubation period of whatever virus inside him,or whether there were other factors to be taken into consideration, but when something like this happened in a not-so-long-ago past, we had to reinforce the leading brand with incessant sponge baths to tame his fever down.

Please do not take my word for it because I am not an expert. LOL! My point is, maybe we can meticulously choose and use other medicines aside from the famous ones and avoid unnecessary inconvenience.

This blog post is not paid. I am just narrating our experience.

Thank you CMO and the People of Calbayog for the free medicines!
