Have large retail chains taken advantage of your good intentions as a parent? Have you purchased any store-branded infants’ acetaminophen (generic for Tylenol®)? If you have, you may have paid a 200% to 400% markup for medicine that is identical to the cheaper children’s version.
If you are fine with companies taking advantage of your good intentions as a parent, read no further. But if it bothers you that companies would put the same product in a different box, write “infants” on it, and then charge you three to five times as much per ounce, READ ON.
Taking too much acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol®, can be dangerous and even fatal. This terrifies parents and causes them to be extra careful when buying medicine for their young children and babies.
Some big stores exploit this fear by misleading consumers into believing that the infant version has unique qualities that are beneficial for babies and tricking parents into buying it.
But compare the infants’ and children’s versions and you will see for yourself that they have the exact same active ingredients in the exact same dosage amounts! The only difference is that the children’s version comes with a small plastic cup and the infants’ version comes with a small syringe.
There is no reason why caring parents should be tricked into paying up to four times as much per ounce for the exact same dose of medication.
If you agree that taking advantage of parents’ good intentions for their infants is wrong and would like to find out more, call us at toll-free at 800-916-3500 or fill out the form below.
