Infants’ and Children’s Tylenol Blog Tour

 I'm sure anyone with kids remembers the Tylenol recall that occurred around this time last year. It was all over the news and the internet. I have to say, while it did scare me a little bit, I think Tylenol handled it all very well. As soon as they suspected a problem, they recalled the products in questions, even though the risk was minimal and it cost them millions of dollars. I had three bottles of infant and children's Tylenol in my cabinet. I was able to punch in the UPC codes and get back the money for them in just a few weeks. That is great service. My confidence in Tylenol has not been affected by this one incident. They are a company I have trusted for years, and my cabinet is once again stocked with Tylenol products for the whole family.

Now in addition to providing the  same reliable products we have counted on for years, Tylenol is enhancing their products even more. As early as the upcoming cold and flu season, Infants’ TYLENOL® will include a new, enhanced bottle with a protective opening and push-in syringe which will:

1) Provide even better dosing accuracy and ease of administration to infants
2)Allow for better control when dispensing the medication and reduce spillage
3) Further reduce the risk of children being able to get to the medicine in the bottle

They will also be introducing enhanced bottles with the protective opening on Children’s TYLENOL® products.

There will be new dosing directions related to the change in concentration on Infants’ TYLENOL® as early as this upcoming cold and flu season.

1) Infants’ TYLENOL® will have the same concentration of the active ingredient, acetaminophen, as Children’s TYLENOL®, which will standardize dosing across our products and age groups.
2) We have been working closely with other manufacturers of pediatric acetaminophen products to encourage an industry wide transition to one concentration across infants’ and children’s acetaminophen products.
3) There will be a time period when more than one concentration of infants’ acetaminophen products will be available in stores and parents and caregivers might have both in their medicine cabinets.


Caregivers should be mindful to always read and follow the dosing directions on the package that is being used.

1) When Infants’ TYLENOL® products return to store shelves, they will include these changes.
2) As always, Infants’ and Children’s TYLENOL® products will continue to include specially designed dosing devices appropriate to the age of the child.
3)Parents and caregivers should contact their child’s healthcare provider if they have questions about dosing instructions.

When kids are sick-check out these easy steps to help take it easier for both of you. Simply remember to NURSE


Never give adult medicines to children.
Use the measuring device (syringe, dropper, dosage cup) that comes with the medicine every time you use it.
Don’t use kitchen spoons (teaspoons or tablespoons).
Read and follow instructions on the label. Never give more than the recommended dose and do not give the
medication more frequently than recommended.
Store all medicines out of the reach of children. Immediately following use, always restore the child resistant cap
and put the medicine back into a high and out of sight location.
Every child grows. Know the infant’s or child’s weight and/or age to help determine the appropriate dosage.
