I saw that there are 160mg chewable tablets. My baby needs to take 120mg. Can I give him 3/4 of a tablet?

Yes, you can give your baby 3/4 of a 160mg chewable tablet to make up the 120mg dose needed. The tablet can be crushed and mixed with a small amount of liquid, applesauce, or food before giving it to your baby. Be sure to give the medication every 4 to 6 hours if needed, but no more than 5 times in a 24-hour period. Additionally, you may want to check with nearby pharmacies for the availability of the 120mg suppositories. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
