What Parents Need to Know About Giving Medicine to Children
Administering medicine to a sick child can be frustrating for parents, especially when kids resist taking the medication they need to feel better. A recent survey by McNeil Consumer Healthcare, in partnership with Harris Interactive, found that more than 65% of parents struggle with giving their children liquid suspension medication. Furthermore, 62% of these parents cited the taste of the medicine as the main issue for their children’s reluctance.
To address this challenge, a new product is simplifying the process. Children's Tylenol (acetaminophen) with Flavor Creator is the first customizable over-the-counter medicine designed for children. It offers four different flavor combinations, allowing parents to tailor the taste to their child’s preferences, thereby making medication time less stressful.
Dr. Tanya Remer Altmann, a pediatrician and clinical instructor at Mattel Children’s Hospital at UCLA, explained, “While instructions clearly outline the correct dosage, kids often resist due to taste, complicating the process. This product helps ensure they receive the medicine they need.”
Maureen Lipscomb, a mother of seven-year-old quadruplets, knows this struggle all too well. Her children have distinct likes and dislikes, making it tough to get them to take medicine when they’re unwell. Lipscomb shared, “It’s very challenging when they refuse medication. Allowing them to choose the flavor makes it easier, as they’re less likely to resist.”
The survey found that 85% of parents believe the ability to customize their child’s medicine flavor would dramatically improve their willingness to take it.
Each pack of Children's Tylenol with Flavor Creator includes a bottle of Children's Tylenol Cherry Blast Flavor Liquid Suspension and 20 packets of sugar-free crystals in four flavors: bubblegum, chocolate, apple, and strawberry. This variety allows for personalized flavor combinations. Remember, all medications should be kept out of children’s reach and administered by adults.
By taking children’s taste preferences into account, this innovative product aims to lessen the struggle and stress often associated with medicating sick kids.
