Historical Background
Calpol is a proprietary brand of paracetamol oral suspension for children, used in the UK for over 50 years. The brand name has become so embedded in British parenting culture that many consumers refer to any children's paracetamol suspension as "Calpol" regardless of manufacturer, placing the trademark at persistent genericisation risk. NHS guidance frequently references it by brand name, reinforcing this near-generic status.
