Weleda
Fever suppositories of the company “Weleda AG” are homeopathic remedies containing the active ingredients belladonna, chamomile, opium poppy and coneflower. According to the manufacturer they have a fever-reducing, anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, sleep-promoting and strengthening effect on the immune system. The effect of Weleda® fever suppositories has not yet been proven by meaningful studies, which is why they are rarely used in conventional medicine. They should not be used in children under one year of age due to insufficient experience.
Paracetamol/benuron
“ben-u-ron” is a trademark of the company “bene-Arzneimittel GmbH”. Paracetamol-containing drugs are sold as tablets or suppositories under the name ben-u-ron. “ben-u-ron” suppositories have a predominantly antipyretic and analgesic effect.
They are used to treat fever and various types of pain. They are dosed according to weight and can already be used in newborns. It is important not to dose “ben-u-ron” too highly, as this significantly increases the risk of liver damage.
A doctor or pharmacist should be consulted if there is any uncertainty about the dosage. Ben-u-ron suppositories should not be administered to children and infants with severe symptoms until they have been presented to a doctor.The reason for this is that paracetamol can alleviate the symptoms and the doctor could therefore wrongly classify a potential disease as harmless.
