Aim To Analyse the sweetening agent and its concentration in various brands of paracetamol syrups and to determine the syrup with the lowest concentration of sweetening agent. Methods In this study, five different brands of paracetamol syrups were analysed to find the brand at least and maximum sugar concentration using lane Eynon general volumetric method. Results Sugar concentration was found to be in a range of (12.2%-18.3%), with Brand P-250 (Apex) containing least concentration, (12.2%) and Brand Pyregesic-DS containing a maximum concentration of (18.3%). Conclusion Dental caries is more prevalent in children. Factors contributing are candies as well as syrups prescribed during various infections. Reducing the cariogenic factors should be the primary concern, hence sugar substitutes which are not potentially cariogenic can be replaced in order to make it more safe and beneficial.
