Since 2011, manufacturers of infant?s and children?s liquid acetaminophen products (e.g., Tylenol®) have changed the amount of acetaminophen to one standard amount to help eliminate dosage confusion among parents and guardians who administer these medications. Providers who see infants and children should make parents and guardians aware of this change to avoid an accidental overdose of acetaminophen.
