Yep it means that per every 2.5ml of solution there is 5mg of Losec.
You can try a split dosage as well, where you give 1.25ml in the morning and 1.25ml at night, if you find that the single dosage doesn't cover for the full 24 hours.
Your price is great, 1/2 of what we are paying, but we have a significantly higher dosage, 5mg of Losec per 1ml so paying for more Losec
I had a lot of trouble getting DS to take his banana flavored losec - here's what I do (other bellybelly-ers gave me heaps of advice). I really try to do it when DH is home, but when I can't I do it when he is wrapped (meaning swaddled) because he pushes my hand away. I fill the syringe with the full dose BUT I administer it in thirds - I hold him so he's kind of lying down (or if he's wrapped I do this on the change table). I put the syringe down the side of his mouth and (and I hate this part because I feel so mean but it's the only way to get him to swallow) before he has a chance to do anything I squeeze his cheeks together with 1 of my hands - this forces him to swallow and prevents him from spitting it out. This is why I do it in thirds - so he isn't drowning in liquid. If he spits any out despite all this, I immediately brush it back into his mouth with the syringe while still holding his cheeks together. Sometimes he cries but most often he just grizzles and even if he cries after all of this it lasts seconds.
DS really hates it - and it smells good - but then again, DS won't take a bottle or a dummy so if it's not real flesh he doesn't want anything to do with it!
I never thought of taking the chemist receipts to HBA to see if private health insurance will cover - I'll have to do that.
