Hope they are ok. Have to be so careful with medications. I’m allergic to so many things always took great care with our kids to see if they were the same 1 out of 4 has similar to me.

Glad the boys are ok

So scary – glad the boys are ok.

Always have to be careful when its for kids

A very sensible reminder. Can’t be too careful with medication.

They need to be in clearly labelled containers so they can’t be mixed up easily?

I always check the label and double check dosage before administering anything even for myself.

good advice

So scary especially since it isn’t the first time it’s happened.

SO Easy to make mistakes, especially when sleep deprived (we all know that feeling, hey mums and dads)

Yes always double or triple check medication before you give it. It’s not for nothing they double / triple check by different professional staff in the hospital.
My 9yr old uses Catapres morning & night and has used Ritalin in the past, now Zoloft & Catapres. These are serious substances indeed.

It is very important to always be clearly aware when giving medication to your children, yourself or anyone. Reading labels is a must for me. Poor children, very scary for them and their parents.

I’d even be putting large writing/labels on the medication the boys can have rather than have this happen a third time – they have been lucky twice now – don’t push the odds.

Always check labels first

You certainly need to keep all medications clearly labelled and adult ones well away from children’s ones!

Absolutely especially with smaller bodies. Children’s glad they’re ok.

You definitely need to check medications.
The only thing I can suggest is put their medication in a ziplock bag or other container and put their names on them in large print and maybe the instructions too.

So scary hope boys are ok
