Just ring your local pharmacy and they should be able to work it out for you over the phone.

Yup I'd ring your pharmacy too, but if you want I have the sheet that came with my bottle that has the dosage amounts.

120mg/5mls dose in mls = 10mls for 16kg. 15kg = 9.4mls and 17kg = 10.6.

The 250mg/5mls dose in mls = 4.5mls for 15kg, 4.8 for 16kg and 5.1 for 17kg.

Hth... And it says no more than 4 doses in a 24 hours period.

if it's 12O\mg\5 mls then he should have 1Omls

If it's 25O\mg\5 mls it's 5mls

It should say on the label what strength it is
