Is it safe to give my 11-month-old baby, who weighs 11 kg, 4 ml of Crocin DS syrup three times a day as needed, even though the bottle label says it is for children aged 5 to 12 years?

Asked by Female, 32 · 12 days ago

I advise against giving Crocin DS to your 11-month-old baby. Crocin DS is a double-strength paracetamol syrup formulated for older children. For an 11 kg baby, a 4 ml dose of this high-strength syrup is too strong and could be unsafe. It is much safer to use the standard infant-strength paracetamol suspension (120 mg/5 ml). Please consult your pediatrician to get the precise dose of the infant formulation tailored to your baby's weight to keep them safe and comfortable.
