The medicine is being taken off of the shelf because parents are not following the guidelines resulting in an overdose. The medication is not bad or tainted.  It is so important to give the exact amount of medication to children. If the medication says do not give to a child under 2 or gives weight dosage it is very important to follow those instructions. If you do not know how much your child weighs DO NOT GUESS. The medication works when it is used the way it is intended in the correct dose for the child.

You can call your physician and they will give you an exact dose for your child. Lani takes medication, that on the bottle it says not to give to a child under 2 but because her doctor figures out the correct dosage for her it is very safe. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE if you are unsure if you should give it to your child THEN DON’T.
