For British parents, Calpol is overwhelmingly the drug of choice. Calpol is now owned by an American company, Johnson & Johnson, who have outsourced manufacturing to a French company called Famar. Johnson & Johnson call the Calpol range of medicines The Calpol Family. Even though Johnson & Johnson could have continued to market it for older children, Calpol Night was quietly withdrawn in 2010. However, parents, I think, are psychologically dependent on Calpol, because when their children are ill they do go for the Calpol.
