# Are infant Motrin and children’s Motrin the same concentration?

Canonical URL: https://kintoolkit.com/questions/infant-vs-childrens-motrin-concentration

No. The US Infants’ Motrin concentrated drops and Children’s Motrin oral suspension compared here have different concentrations. Do not reuse a liquid amount from one bottle for the other.

## Two bottles, two strengths

Infants’ Motrin concentrated drops list ibuprofen 50 mg per 1.25 mL. Children’s Motrin oral suspension lists ibuprofen 100 mg per 5 mL. The ingredient is the same, but the infant drops contain more ibuprofen in each mL. Bottle color or the brand name alone cannot identify the strength.

## Use the directions for the bottle in your hand

Check the full product name, active ingredient, concentration and labeled age range. Use the measuring device supplied with that product. If instructions from a clinician appear to refer to another strength, confirm the bottle and instructions with the clinician or pharmacist before use.
