PediaCare Acetaminophen Infant & Childrens Liquid Review

ABOUT:

PediaCare now offers age-appropriate dosing devices.  Infant products will now contain a special dosing syringe and flow restrictors on the bottles; children’s products, for ages 2 to 11 years, will have the bottles with flow restrictors, and continue to contain dosing cups. Both infant and children’s formulations will continue to have weight-based instructions on the package, as well.

While the new single-concentration for PediaCare infants’ and children’s acetaminophen products are among the first to hit store shelves, parents should know that there will be a “transition period” during which the existing infant products and the new acetaminophen infant PediaCare products may be on store shelves simultaneously. The new infants’ formula is less concentrated and the dose is therefore more than in the older infant formulation. And while reading and following package directions is always recommended to obtain accurate dosing instructions, it will be important, while the two concentrations are available, to select the dose that is proper for the specific product version that is being given. Parents and caregivers should ask a healthcare professional if they have any questions.

MY THOUGHTS:

While I hate the thought of my babies being sick, I am glad there is PediaCare.  This week all three of my kids have been sick with a cough and slight fever.  It has been great to be able to give all three kids PediaCare so they get their rest and get better faster.  My kids are 3,5, and 6 months and it is great of PediaCare to make two versions for each age groups.  The Cherry flavor was a hit with the kids and the syringe/cup made it easy to dispense medicine to them.

BUY IT:  PediaCare can be found at your local mass-retailer for $7.59 for a 4-ounce bottle or $6.99 for a 2-ounce bottle.   To learn more about the new acetaminophen dosing system visit pediacare.com.
