When pediatric patients have pain or fever, caregivers may turn to you with questions about dosing medicine safely—especially if it’s the first time. Infants’ and children's medicines are formulated to deliver the right amount of medicine to little patients. Dosage information for children under 2 years of age is available to healthcare professionals to share with caregivers.
Remind them to always read and follow the product label and use ONLY 1 medicine containing the same active ingredient at a time. Only the dosing device (dosing syringe or dosing cup) provided with the product should be used to measure the proper amount of medicine. Do NOT use more than one product containing acetaminophen at the same time.
