PREVENT
ACCIDENTAL MEDICATION OVERDOSE
Every year, more than 70,000 children go to the emergency room because they were given too much medicine! Read
the instructions carefully. Medicine may be prescribed to be given in either milliliters (ml) or teaspoons. One teaspoon
is almost five times more than one milliliter. That is a big difference! In addition, medicine should come with a dosage
tool (cup, syringe, etc.) so that you give the correct amount. If it does not, ask for one! If the medicine is to be given
by teaspoon, do not use a kitchen spoon. It may not be an accurate measurement. Always ask your pharmacist if you
have any questions about your child’s medication.
