Dose Keeper
To Err Is Human But Not At The Expense Of Your Child ©
With the Dose Keeper, parents or care givers can keep better track of what medication/vitamins were given and the time and date when it was given to a child!
Because of lack of sleep and the hectic world parents face today, they can't always rely on their memory. Dose Keeper attaches to any size medication bottle, which unlike pieces of paper or notepads, the dosing log stays wherever you go or in this case wherever the actual medication bottle goes. Dose Keeper helps keep more than one caregiver in check in knowing when the last medication was given!
Black
- Helps parents and/or care givers keep better track of giving or administrating medication to a child.
- When a child has a fever for a couple of days, a parent’s lack of sleep, for example, may impair his/her judgment of when the next dosage must be given. This can result in overdosing on medications such as Tylenol or Motrin which in turn can lead to liver failure or in worse cases death.
- Dose Keeper helps caretakers keep track of when last dosage was given.
- Dose Keeper helps more than one caregiver keep track of when the last dosage was given between multiple caregivers and moms and dads.
- Dose Keeper helps make you aware of what medication you have been keeping track of as well as what the active ingredient is found in each medication. Don't give your child two separate medications if both of the medications contain the same ingredient! Consult your doctor first!
- 10 easy to tear sheets come with each Dose Keeper for 50 dosing entries.
- Make sure you are giving your child or that your loved one is taking the recommended dosage of the correct medicine. If you have two or more children, the mix-up between infant's Tylenol and children's Tylenol can be deadly.
- With Tylenol and any other medicine, make sure both parents or elderly caregivers use the Dose Keeper to log in when the last dosage was given.
- Check all medicines you give your child or loved one to make sure that they do not contain Tylenol/Acetominophen before giving them to your child. If you are giving your child two medicines and they both contain acetaminophen, you will create an overdose situation.
- Keep Tylenol and all other adult medicines well out of reach of children and in child-proof bottles. If you drop a pill, make sure you find it and pick it up.
Medicine Facts:
- Acetaminophen causes more overdoses and overdose deaths than any other drug in the United States. Other overdoses occur simply because people underestimate or are unaware of acetaminophen's toxicity.
- Serious cases of acetaminophen overdose occur when parents unwittingly give a child too much of the medicine.
- Parents and the elderly can make a variety of mistakes in the amount of acetaminophen they give their children or take themselves. Some aren't satisfied with the performance of the recommended dosage of acetaminophen, and decide more will be better.
- The thing that makes Acetaminophen dangerous, especially for children, is that the difference between a "dose" and a fatal "overdose" is small.

Loving Mom's Seal of Approval Award!
Jenny Lee a mother of two, George (6) and Gracie (3) is affectionately known to her high school sweetheart and husband of 11 years as well as her family and friends as "an over protective, worrier and cautious mom." In 2007, her daughter Grace ran a fever of 103.9 degrees. Having stayed up the whole night carefully monitoring her daughter's fever, Jenny found herself exhausted and her judgment became clouded the next morning. She second guessed herself and could not remember as to when she had given Grace the last Motrin dose and realized her son had thrown the pad of paper of where she had written it on. So she gave her another dose. Fear struck her as she realized only after that she had given her double dose of Children's Motrin. She called poison control and after seeing her daughter did not show symptoms of an overdose, poison control concluded that she had not double dosed Grace but due to lack of sleep had just second guessed herself.
This became a horrifying experience for Jenny. After the extreme guilt she felt and questioning herself as to whether she was a good mom or not she realized that she wasn't alone. She spoke with numerous parents and caregivers as well as Poison control who all informed her this situation happens to parents everywhere daily. "Busy, active mom's lives and sleep deprivation makes a parent second guess herself as to when the last dose was given" added Poison Control. She discovered that since moms go back to work, for example, they sometimes forget to tell or hand the dose pad log to their child's dad, grandparents, babysitters as to when they gave the last dose of children's Tylenol or Motrin to their child. Hence the Dose Keeper was born.
Jenny Lee uses her degrees in Psychology, Nutrition and Fitness but most importantly her own personal frightening experience to help educate caregivers about the dangers of accidental overdosing on over the counter children's medications. She donates the Dose Keeper products and holds free workshops for low income families in hopes of educating them about proper usage of medications, which no one is born knowing. Over 57,000 accidental overdose of children's medications occur every year which has led to organ failure and death in children. The world known May Clinic has even added that, "the difference between a dose and a fatal overdose is small." After all, TO ERROR IS HUMAN, BUT NOT AT THE EXPENSE OF YOUR CHILD, a motto Jenny Lee tries to share with others.
