What Is The Dosage Of Tylenol And Dextromethorphan For Allergy?
Hello, I have a 93 lb 15 year old, no hx of asthma that was dealing with what I thought was allergies earlier today. About 6 hr ago, I gave him 1 claritin tab. Tonight he is not feeling well at all and realizing that this is a major cold. Can I give him the nighttime soft gels tab. Each one is 325 mg tylenol, dextromethorphan HBr 15 mg, and Doxylamine succinate 6.25 mg. If I am able to give this to him, do I give him only one soft gel or the adult dose of two soft gels?

Hello,
* The allergy of the Tylenol and dextromethorphan depends upon the body`s sensitivity against the molecule rather than dosage is given (which encounters for the side effect profile)
* As the weight is 93 lb, you can proceed for 325 mg Tylenol and half the amount of adult soft gel by taking its constituents.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
