The 8-ounce Amazon Basic Care suspension offers a bulk-sized solution for pediatric fever and pain relief. It uses a 160 mg per 5 mL concentration that is bioequivalent to major national brands. The bottle is made of light-blocking HDPE to prevent the acetaminophen from breaking down when exposed to light. A thickening agent, Xanthan Gum, is used to ensure the medication does not "bottom-load," meaning the first dose is just as effective as the last.
The child-resistant closure is designed for over 200 cycles of use, making it durable for the life of the larger 8-ounce volume. While the bubblegum flavor is generally well-received, the syrup can crystallize around the neck. Keeping the threads clean ensures the airtight seal remains functional and the bottle remains easy to open.
- Large 8 oz volume provides a better cost-per-dose for families.
- Formulated with thickening agents for even ingredient distribution.
- Bubblegum flavor lacks the metallic aftertaste sometimes found in generics.
If you require a different active ingredient for inflammation, the 8-ounce Children's Motrin provides a similar volume in an ibuprofen-based formula.
Large medication bottles can be efficiently stored in plastic cabinet bins with handles to prevent them from tipping over on deep pantry shelves.
