Dose-2-Weight Syringe®
The Next Generation Liquid Medication Dispenser
The Dose-2-Weight Syringe® is specifically calibrated to the dosage strength of Infants’ Acetaminophen 160/5mL liquid medication and is marked with multiple correlated dosing measurements of child weight, age, and volume of medication. These measurements allow the dispensing of the medication in all recommended dosing methods, including the highest standard of care, by delivering the lowest optimal dose for therapeutic efficacy of 4.57 mg per lb. (10.07 mg per kg) to an exact infant weight. This weight-based dosing method and its optimal dosing of 4.57 mg per lb. is recommended by healthcare professionals and supported by decades of clinical studies; including those utilized for the introduction of Acetaminophen for pediatric use.
This industry unique medication dispenser provides safety and convenience during preparation and administration, while in parallel provides ultra-precise dosing and visual reverification of the amount of medication specific to a child’s age and/or weight. The Dose-2-Weight Syringe® eliminates the need to correlate a specific dose from a medication package or other media to a medication dispenser. This design feature circumvents the procedures shown to be the primary cause of error during the preparation and administration of liquid medications via oral dispenser.

Health Care Experts Recommend to Dose By Weight or Otherwise Use Age. Now You Can with Our Oral OTC Dispenser
Researchers have shown that only 30% of caregivers are able to demonstrate both an accurately measured and correct dose for their child.¹ Generally over-the-counter (OTC) medications are considered safe, however they are the most frequently implicated pharmaceuticals involved in cases reported to the American Association of Poison Control Center’s National Poison Data System.²
Current dosing recommendations for OTC oral medications commonly specify a volume of medication for a weight or age range, rather than using the dosage strength of the medication specific to an individual patient weight. For example, the current Acetaminophen dosing regimen results with patients in a designated range receiving the same amount of medication, even though their individual weight may differ more than 45% (6-11lbs); and patients in different ranges receiving double the medication (40-80mg) despite having a difference in weight of 1lb, (11-12lbs).
