A member asked:
Is it ok to give 1 and half year old baby adult paracetamol cut in half or the medicine in baby medication is different than in adult paracetamol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to say: Dosing of any medicine in kids is usually weight dependent. Since you did not describe the dose (mg) of the pill you cut in half, it is hard to be specific about whether or not this was proper.When you submit a question, please provide as much specific information as you can so we can be more specific with answers.Your questions are not linked so each must have all needed info.
