How to Use the Child Medicine Dose Reference
Enter the child's weight, optionally the age, and choose a medicine, then press Show Reference. The figures are a conservative reference only.
Reading the result
Doses are based on body weight, not age alone.
The range is deliberately conservative; brand concentrations differ, so millilitres vary.
Ibuprofen is usually avoided under 6 months without medical advice.
Never exceed the stated 24-hour limit or combine products with the same ingredient.
