If you are lucky enough to find any, you may find that there are three different concentrations of infants' acetaminophen on store shelves right now.
A new Infants' Tylenol Oral Suspension (160mg/5ml) replaces the older, more concentrated Infants' Concentrated Tylenol Drops, which was available at 80mg per 0.8ml. In addition, another concentration of infants' acetaminophen drops has been available, at 80mg per 1.0ml.
To help reduce the chance of medication errors with acetaminophen, the FDA recommends that parents read the Drug Facts label to identify the concentration of acetaminophen in their product before trying to figure out their child's dosage.
