Every stage of childhood brings new milestones—and new moments when parents need trusted support.
From sleepless nights caused by teething to fevers, sore throats and everyday childhood sniffles, caring for little ones is a journey filled with changing needs. This July, Calpol is expanding the way it supports South African families with the launch of two new flavours and an expanded age range.
The announcement will be made at MamaMagic 2026, where Calpol will serve as the Official Headline Sponsor of South Africa’s leading parenting and baby expo, taking place from 3 to 5 July 2026 at the Gallagher Convention Centre.
More choice for parents and caregivers
Calpol is introducing two new flavours—Berry Blaze and Orange—giving parents and caregivers more choice when managing common childhood pain and fever.
At the same time, the brand is extending its recommended age range to include infants from one month old, meaning the Calpol range now supports children from one month to 12 years of age.
The expanded offering reflects the many stages families experience as children grow, providing trusted relief across a broader age group.
Fast, effective relief when families need it most
As South Africa’s number one children’s pain relief brand, Calpol is designed to provide fast and effective relief from pain and fever.
The product can begin working on fever in as little as 15 minutes while remaining gentle on little tummies.
Calpol may be used to help relieve symptoms associated with:
- Fever
- Teething pain
- Toothache
- Sore throat
- Headaches
The expanded range gives parents additional options while maintaining the trusted support the brand has provided for generations.
Launching at MamaMagic 2026
According to Irvin Hendricks, Senior Brand Manager, MamaMagic provides the ideal setting to introduce the latest additions to the Calpol range.
“MamaMagic brings together parents, caregivers and experts from across South Africa, making it the ideal platform to introduce these latest additions to the Calpol range. We know that every stage of childhood brings different challenges and needs. By extending our age range to include infants from one month old, we’re able to support families even earlier, while continuing to provide the trusted relief parents have relied on for years.”
As the event’s Official Headline Sponsor, Calpol will have a strong presence throughout the three-day expo.
Visitors will be able to learn more about the expanded range, explore the new flavours and access practical information and advice from the Calpol team.
Connecting with families across every stage
MamaMagic has become one of South Africa’s leading events for parents, caregivers and industry experts, creating opportunities for families to discover products, advice and services that support every stage of parenting.
Calpol’s participation reflects its ongoing commitment to helping families navigate childhood with confidence by providing trusted pain and fever relief when it matters most.
Parents attending the expo are encouraged to visit the Calpol stand to discover the new Berry Blaze and Orange flavours, learn about the expanded age range and connect with the team behind one of South Africa’s most trusted children’s healthcare brands.
With more choice, broader age support and a continued focus on family care, Calpol’s latest innovations are designed to grow alongside South African families—from a baby’s very first month through to the teenage years.
