What is the dose for kids tums?

Answer 1

Tums Kids for 2-11 years old has 750mg of Calcium Carbonate. Tums Adult regular has 500mg of Cacium Carbonate. Maybe the cherry blast flavor in the kids version needs to be offset by the extra 250mg of antacid. Regardless dosage appears to be up to 750mg as safe. Please use as little as possible to avoid constipation and masking real problems like giardia or parasites

Answer 2

Theoretically - yes, provided you administer the correct dose. A safer alternative would be 'Tums Kids' from the same manufacturer - but formulated specially for children. See the related link to the Tums website for the full product range.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Old enough to know what you are chewing and able to swallow the tum(s)
