Brompheniramine Pseudoephedrine Toddler Dosage
UpdatedMy son is 2 years and six months. His Dr prescribed him Bromphenir pseudoephed today and my husband accidentally gave him 3 times the indicated dosage. Is this an emergency? What should we do? Thanks!

This is from DailyMed's listing on Bromfed DM (same ingredients as what your son was prescribed along with Dextromethorphan):
"Central nervous system effects from overdosage of brompheniramine may vary from depression to stimulation, especially in children. Anticholinergic effects may be noted. Toxic doses of pseudoephedrine may result in CNS stimulation, tachycardia, hypertension, and cardiac arrhythmias; signs of CNS depression may occasionally be seen."
Hoping that your son is okay!
