Table Notes:

DOSE. Find the child's age in the first column. Look for correct dosing based on age and product form.
MEASURE the DOSE. Syringes and droppers are more accurate than teaspoons. If possible, use the syringe or dropper that comes with the medicine. If not, you can get a med syringe at drug stores. If you use a teaspoon, it should be a measuring spoon. (Reason: regular spoons are not reliable.) Keep in mind 1 level teaspoon equals 5 mL and that ½ teaspoon equals 2.5 mL.
ADULT DOSE. 10 mg
HOW OFTEN. Repeat every 24 hours as needed.
