A member asked:
How much ranitidine (zantac) can i give to my 2 month old (12 lb) baby for reflux?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Reflux: 1mg/kilo/dose twice a day. In your baby's case, 5 mg by mouth twice a day. ( note: dose given in mg and not ml).

5-10mg/kg/24 divided: A 12lb (5.5kg) kid could take between 14 & 28 mg every 12 hours ~ 1-2ml of 15mg/ml syrup.
