Here are some tips on how to give
medicines safely to children. |
|
Make sure you understand the instructions before leaving the
pharmacy.
Always use good light to reduce risk of giving the wrong medicine
or the wrong dose.
Always use child-resistant caps and lock all medications away
from your child.
Give the correct dose as directed by your pediatrician or on
product labeling.
A pediatric syringe is the most accurate dosing device.

If your child doesn't like the taste, ask your pharmacist about
other dosage forms and flavors.
Report any adverse effects to the medicine to your health care
provider.
Make sure kids know medicine is not candy.
