At home, I have Tylenol 160 mg/5 ml. My daughter is 13 months old and weighs about 21-22 pounds. How much should I give?

Hello Ma'am,

The dose to be given is 4.5 mL per dose (for a maximum of 5 doses per 24-hour period).

This represents a dose of 15 mg / kg (weight) per dose.

Good evening,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist

I worked as a pharmacist in the emergency department of the Granby Hospital for 6 years before dedicating myself to Ask your Pharmacist. I completed my education in telehealth at Jefferson University in Philadelphia and are recently completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Health Informatics at Université de Sherbrooke.
