Other Information
- Do not combine two different liquid medications in a measuring device at the same time.
- Only mix liquid medicines with food or drinks when you have information that it is safe to do so.
- Discard any excess liquid if you overfill the measuring device. Do not return any excess liquid to the original container as it may contaminate the remaining product.
- Always wash the measuring device after use. Be sure to dry it carefully before the next use as any remaining water will cause the next dose to be measured improperly.
