5 mL of Tylenol3 contains 12 mg codeine
Hence, by rule of proportion, 4 mL of Tylenol3 contains (12*4)/5 mg codeine = 9.6 mg codeine
every 4 – 6 hours, 1 mg of codeine can be given to child of at least 1 kg
Hence, by rule of proportion, every 4 – 6 hours, 9.6 mg of codeine can be given to child f at least 9.6 kg.
Therefore the prescribed dose is safe if my child weigh 9.6 kg or more.
