A member asked:

Should i be worried if my child was accidentally given 20ml instead of 10ml for the first dose of children's robittusin?

Dr. Christine Hom answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Overdose: A single dose doubled should not be a problem. Don't give more. Robitussin (guaifenesin) is really quite safe, but not terribly helpful.
