Acetaminophen Notice

It has been brought to our attention that the droppers that come with concentrated infant acetaminophen (such as Tylenol) are not all the same. At least one generic product, carried by CVS, has a dropper that is oversized. As a result of the oversized dropper, giving your child a “dropperful” of concentrated infant acetaminophen may be an incorrect dose.

Generally, concentrated infant acetaminophen comes with a dropper marked 0.4 ml and 0.8 ml. Some larger bottles of this medication come with a longer dropper marked only 1.6 ml. Giving your child a “dropperful” using this longer dropper could result in giving a greater dose than recommended.

Please check all products carefully before giving your child concentrated infant acetaminophen.
