# Are infant Tylenol and children’s Tylenol the same?

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

The US Infants’ Tylenol and Children’s Tylenol liquids supported here both contain acetaminophen 160 mg per 5 mL. Matching strength alone does not establish a dose for a child or make every Tylenol product interchangeable.

## Same supported liquid strength, separate product directions

Match the exact liquid and read its Drug Facts, including the directions and warnings. The infant name does not mean that a labeled amount is available for every baby. For children under 2 years or under 24 lb, these references retain the instruction to ask a healthcare provider.

## Packaging and country still matter

Check the supplied measuring device and your own package rather than transferring instructions from another bottle. Chewables, combination medicines and products from another country may differ. This comparison covers only the two US liquids listed here.
