Cherished there is a way to safely crush an adult tablet and then workout how much to give. I'm sorry but I'm not going to tell you how. I don't feel like that's the right thing todo. But I don't see why a chemist wouldn't walk you thru how to do it.

My ds once ate 4 Panadol so 2000mgs that DH had left out. Again even being a nurse I freaked however the poisons hotline said that ds could have had double that. They said that their little livers can process that amount. It is in fact as we get older that our livers can't cope.


Thinking that thru the dangers of people giving the incorrect dose of Panadol must be going to have HUGE impact on their health later in life.

To the OP: hugs its a horrible feeling when you don't feel it's safe to leave you LO's with a carer as you don't feel they will follow your wishes. You are right to be shocked and upset!
