tylenol suppository pediatric dosing
Pediatric Acetaminophen Dosing. Pediatric acetaminophen (eg, Children's Tylenol) When possible, dose acetaminophen based on a childâs weight, using 10-15 mg/kg/dose. Give PO every 4-6 hours and do not exceed more than 5 doses (2.6 g) in 24 hours. When weight is unknown, the following guidelines based on age may be used.
Adult Dosage: 650 mg MAXIMUM: 3,000 mg in a 24-hour period. Suppositories: Acetaminophen also comes in 80, 120, 325 and 650 mg suppositories. The rectal dose is the same as the dosage given by mouth. Extended-Release: Avoid 650 mg oral products in children, because they are every 8 hour extended-release.
