๐ŸŽ‰ Good News!

Since 2011, infant and children's Tylenol are now the same concentration (160 mg/5 mL). This reduces confusion and dosing errors!

โš ๏ธ Watch Out For

Old bottles may still exist!

If you have old infant Tylenol (80 mg/0.8 mL), throw it away. Using old concentration with new dosing charts causes overdose.

Store brands may differ. Always check the concentration on YOUR bottle before dosing.
