Infants' Tylenol is often considered a standard for pediatric pain relief, featuring a 160 mg per 5 mL acetaminophen suspension. The design focuses on a highly stable liquid matrix that resists degradation even in high-humidity storage environments. The 1-ounce bottle is made of HDPE, providing a solid moisture barrier and protecting the active molecules from light exposure.
A key feature is the "SimpleMeasure" system, a molded flow restrictor in the neck of the bottle. This allows for a more secure interface with the included syringe than open-mouth generic bottles, helping to prevent accidental spills. The syringe itself uses high-contrast etched markings rather than surface printing, which helps the measurements remain visible even after multiple cleanings.
The cherry-flavored liquid is dye-free, which is helpful for children with specific sensitivities. However, the viscosity of the syrup means it can crystallize around the bottle rim. Wiping the neck after use ensures the child-resistant cap continues to engage its locking lugs properly, maintaining the intended safety of the container.
- Flow-restricted opening reduces the risk of significant spills if the bottle is tipped.
- Dye-free formula eliminates risks associated with synthetic colorants like Red 40.
- Etched syringe markings provide long-term measurement clarity.
For older children who have moved past liquid dosing, chewable acetaminophen tablets can be a more convenient on-the-go alternative.
Organizing a variety of pediatric medications is most effective when using Children’s Acetaminophen Liquid Suspension categories to group similar items together.
