Dosage for Infants' TylenolInfants' Tylenol Oral Suspension (160 mg/5 ml) replaces the older, more concentrated Infants' Concentrated Tylenol Drops, which was available at 80 mg per 0.8 ml and 80 mg per 1ml. The benefit of these concentrated drops was that younger infants and toddlers got to take less medicine. On the downside, it was easy to overdose your child if you gave the concentrated drops, but were using the dosage guidelines for the less concentrated Tylenol suspension. That would get your child over three times the recommended amount of Tylenol. Unfortunately, these concentrations of acetaminophen were on the store shelves in 2011 and might still be squirreled away in your medicine cabinet at home.

Don't rely on seeing 'drops' or 'suspension' in the name to know what concentration of acetaminophen you have. For example, it is hard to know the concentration of the CVS Infants' Pain Relief Suspension Drops by just looking at the name. Check the expiration date on the product and toss any products that are beyond that date. This will help ensure only current Tylenol formulations are in your home.
