How to use the dosing device
In order to get the correct paracetamol dosage for children and babies, use the dosing device that comes with your Dymadon for Kids or Dymadon for Babies pack:
1. Insert dosing device into the plug (the plunger should be fully depressed)
2. Invert the bottle and slowly pull back the plunger until it reads the correct dose for your child as per the dosage instructions on the pack
Helpful tips for giving children and babies medicines:
- Always use an accurate measuring device such as an oral syringe – teaspoons are not accurate and may hold different amounts.
- Always read dosages and measurements from the pack each time – especially when giving medicine to kids that contains. paracetamol. Some medicines look similar but may have different strengths and therefore different dosage quantities required.
- When possible, use the dosage that corresponds with the current weight of your child. If you do not know their weight, the age-related dose can be used.
- Slowly squirt the medicine between your child’s tongue and their cheek, giving them time to swallow between each squirt. Don’t squirt the medicine in the back of the throat, as this could choke your child.
- It is not recommended to add medications to infant formula or feeding bottles because of the risk of the child not taking the full dose. If you must add medication to a drink, make sure the child drinks it all.
- Always check with your pharmacist to see if the medication for your baby or child is able to be mixed with a drink – some medications should not be mixed with juice or milk. This will sometimes, but not always, be mentioned on the packaging so check there first.
