Good morning, ma'am,

If the pumps were prescribed, I recommend that you contact your pharmacy, they will be able to tell you what information they received in the prescription. Otherwise, I do not recommend using these medications in your youngest child unless you have received explicit information to that effect.

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
