is it okay to give Childrens tylenol instead of infant tylenol to a 6 month old?

Question

I just noticed that my instacart order brought me the wrong tylenol I checked receipt and I ordered the infant one but they brought me the childrens one instead. would this be okay to still give my 6 month old?

Answer

Actually, children’s and infants Tylenol is the exact same thing, despite what the other commenters said. Motrin is different between children and infant, but not Tylenol. The only difference is that infant’s comes w a syringe for administration. Both are the exact dosage 160mg/5ml.

Answer

Yes, they're the same. Only difference is the dosing device they come with. This is the dosage chart my kids pediatrician gave me.

Answer

You can give. It usually goes by weight so the dose will be different

Answer

Yes, they are the EXACT SAME. 
Just make sure your giving age/weight appropriate doses.

Answer

Yes. They are the same thing. Just give proper dosing based on weight. 
I’ve always bought children’s Tylenol over infant Tylenol. You get a bigger bottle for the same price. It’s the exact same formula. Both are 160mg per 5ml.

Answer

No please don’t give ur infant medicine meant for children that’s older than your lil one .
