Having been through this a while ago . .
You are required to prescribe paracetamol if clinically indicated. You
are not obliged to nominate the brand. Prescribe enough for the
condition e.g. 60-100 mls for an infectious pyrexia, and no more.
It did take a month or two but it was worth it in the end. I do not
prescribe calpol anymore and the taste of paracetamol elixir seems to
limit requests for it.
