1. Shake the bottle well but avoid vigorous and/or lengthy shaking. Shake
before each subsequent use to ensure resuspension.
2. Remove the child-proof cap from the bottle by pushing down on the cap
while turning it anticlockwise (Fig 1).
3. Take the plastic circular stopper from the carton and push this into the
neck of the bottle. This should fit tightly and once it is in place it should
not be removed (Fig 2).
4. Take the pipette out of the carton and ensure that the plunger is pressed
down inside the barrel as far as it will go. This gets rid of any air that may
be inside the barrel.
5. Insert the nozzle of the pipette into the hole in the stopper (Fig 3).
6. Turn the bottle upside down. Keep hold of the bottle in one hand and the
pipette in the other (Fig 4).
7. Hold the barrel of the pipette steady and slowly pull the plunger down
until you see the liquid fill the barrel to the mark which matches the
number of ml that you need to give to your child (Fig 4).
8. Turn the bottle back the right way up.
9. Keeping hold of the barrel, remove the whole pipette from the bottle.
10. The contents of the pipette can be emptied directly into your child’s
mouth by pushing down on the plunger while still holding the barrel.
Alternatively, empty the measured dose from the pipette onto a spoon
for your child to take the medicine from.
11. Replace the cap on the bottle of medicine.
