Hello,

If you mean Crocin medication than yes it is the same as Calpol. The are both trend names for what we call medically acetaminophen. Different countries give acetaminohen different names, in India it is called Crocin, in some countries of Europe it is called Calpol but it is the same chemical and drug and 500 mg of Crocin is the same as 500 mg of Calpol.
Yes 2 tablets of 500 mg mean 1 gram.

I hope this is helpful and answers to your questions but please feel free to let us know of any concerns.

Kind regards,

Hello, I began my period on Monday and I feel as though i have an abrasion on the right side of my vaginal opening. Yesterday, removing a tampon was uncomfortable, but today the pain was nearly unbearable. I also began experiencing UTI symptoms yesterday (urge to pee, pain in urethra and bladder at the end of urine stream).

My hubby and I did have rough sex on Sunday but I felt fine and I urinated as normal. Could the antibiotics have given me a uti? What do you think about the scratched feeling? I'm getting worried.

  Doctor's Answer

HI, Abrasion,or may be a scratchy feeling that you are having can have many causes out of which 1)Having rough sex is amongst the common causes 2)If you had sex before actually your vagina was wet(then causing an injury is relatively easy),you might not have been aroused properly 3)UTI itself is among the common causes giving you such a feel.

an expired calpol 500 mg, expired sept 2012 has been taken now. what is the treatment to be given

  Doctor's Answer

Hi, Usually expired calpol does not have serious serious side effects,the expired drug is just reduced in efficiency .

However I believe that is not the case with you. ...
