Medication dosing Guides

Note: Please do not give fever-reducing medications to children less than eight weeks of age without consulting with a physician first.

• Acetaminophen (tylenol)

• Ibuprofen

  • Do not use ibuprofen in children who are less than 6 months old unless your child's doctor tells you to. This is because it has not been found to be safe in children less than 6 months old. The use of the medicine in children less than 6 months is also not approved by the FDA. It is also best not to give medicines with more than one ingredient in it to children less than 6 years of age.
