Parent Medication InFORMAtion Sheets

Gaviscon Infant for Bottlefed Infants | Gaviscon Infant for Breastfed Infants | Ranitidine | Omeprazole granules| Omeprazole suspension

The above are Parent Medication Instruction Sheets (in PDF format) for various reflux medications. They are designed for doctors/health professionals to give to patients along with the first script for a medication and were been created as we were constantly being asked how to give medications. This could either have been because parents are not being told how to give medications, or were not taking the information in during a stressful time. Feedback was also confirming that the medications have a better effect if given correctly.

Currently there is an increasing trend for doctors to prescribe Omeprazole suspension rather than the recommended granules. Here a letter addressing this problem: Omeprazole suspension letter for health professionals.
