Product Information

Be sure to use a dosing tool that is just right to fit the dose you want to measure. The tool should not be too big, or too small. Using a dosing tool that is too big makes it easy to give too much medicine. Using a dosing tool that is too small means having to measure more than one time to give the right amount. This makes it easier to give the wrong amount. The development of the medicine dropper is directly linked to the improvement of medical science and health care, largely because the man who invented it was the main proponent of Germ Theory. What is a Medicine Dropper? Medicine droppers are common medical devices but they have plenty of uncommon uses. Photo by Jill Burrow from Pexels It is important to use a dosing tool that has markings on it. The markings help you measure out the right amount of medicine. Dosing tools include oral syringes, dosing spoons, droppers, and dosing cups. Always keep the dosing tool with the bottle of medicine. If a dosing tool is not included with your medicine bottle, ask your pharmacist or doctor for one.

One most occasions your child will be cooperative, but nearly everyone has been faced with the situation of trying to give medicine to a child who refuses to take it.

How to give liquid medicines

When administering medication, it's critical to use the correct amount and to administer it at the correct time to ensure the maximum effectiveness of the medication.

Medicine can be measured in different ways. You may see teaspoon (tsp), tablespoon (tbsp or TBSP), or milliliters (mL, ml, or mLs) on the dosing tool. A plastic dropper is relatively inexpensive and disposable, so they are often used to avoid cross-contamination. In a solution containing cells and/or protein, it reduces the loss of cell and/or protein that binds to glass. Some plastic pipettes include a long flexible tube that can be bent for drawing solution from small volume tubes. [8] Heat can be applied to the tip of a plastic Pasteur pipette to seal the solution and create a liquid-tight storage. [13] Medical laboratories [ edit ]Look very carefully at how the dose amount is written. Be especially careful if you see a period (".") in the middle of the number. For example, "0.5 mL" is not the same as "5 mL". Mixing these up can mean giving 10 times more medicine than your child needs. Or it may mean giving your child 10 times less medicine. Like with OTC medicines, it is important to always use the dosing tool (like an oral syringe) that comes with the medicine, or that your doctor or pharmacist tells you to use. If a dosing tool is not provided with the medicine, ask the pharmacist or doctor to give you one.
