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

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. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
