The twins are getting their shots on thursday and they said to give them tyenol 30 min. before shots..How much is the dose? It doesnt say on the box.

I just asked this ? On Friday and they said studies are now saying not to do it before cause it may make shots less effective. And I'm glad I didn't cause when I got there they made sure I hadn't given them anything. I gav it to them an hour after shots and they were fine. Still are. But yes .4 ml

I would not give them anything before -- and i would google and print out the new studies showing that it might effect the efficacy of the shots -- and show it to your doctor.

i only give meds after the shots if they get a fever.... otherwise they get nothing.

and for reference for the future- this is a great link, from a pediatrician, with doses for tylenol, motrin and benedryl.

Tylenol doseage for infants is 10mg per kilogram. If you don't know how many kg they are divide pounds by 2.2

It depends on their weights. 15mg per kg is standard dosing. 1kg = 2.2lbs. HTH!
