Description

CAUTION: In May, 2011, a move to one standard concentration (160 mg/5 ml) of liquid acetaminophen medicine for infants and children was announced. Up until this point, there have been mainly 2 concentrations: 80 mg/0.8 ml (Infant Concentrated Drops) and 160 mg/5 ml (Children's Liquid Oral Suspension or Syrup). During this transition period, both old and new concentrations of infant acetaminophen may be available on store shelves and in your home. Before selecting a dose, please double check the infant package carefully to find the correct concentration. Then, select the dosage according to the concentration and child's weight. Infants' Acetaminophen Concentrated Drops are 3 times more concentrated than the children's liquid oral suspension. Always read and follow the label. Never give adult medicines to children. Use only the dosing device that comes with the product. MEASURING the DOSAGE: Syringes and droppers are more accurate than teaspoons. If possible, use the syringe or dropper that comes with the medicine. If not, medicine syringes are available at pharmacies. If you use a teaspoon, it should be a measuring spoon. Regular spoons are not reliable. Remember that 1 level teaspoon equals 5 ml and that 1/2 teaspoon equals 2.5 ml.
