How much children’s Motrin does the label list for a 30 lb child?
A weight of 30 lb falls in the printed 24–35 lb band, paired with ages 2–3 years. Children’s MOTRIN 100 mg / 5 mL, weight band 24–35 lb (label age 2–3 years): 5 mL. Label interval: every 6–8 hours if needed. No more than 4 doses in 24 hours. Weight alone does not establish that this product is appropriate for a particular child.
The published label row

No. This chart pairs 24–35 lb with 2–3 years; weight and age are alternative label bands, not a formula. Follow the label’s age restrictions. Ask a clinician if the child is outside the supported age range or between printed weight bands. Use the measuring device supplied with your bottle.
Before using the amount
Confirm Children’s Motrin oral suspension 100 mg per 5 mL and use its supplied measuring device. Infants’ Motrin concentrated drops have a different strength. If the child is under 2, outside the product’s labeled age range, or instructions conflict, ask a clinician or pharmacist.
