Safety reminders for Oral Syringes

• Read each medicine label carefully. Check the name of the medicine, dose of medicine, expiration date, and instructions for use. Make sure you received the medicine in the correct form, such as a liquid or tablet.
• Store oral syringes separately from all other syringes to avoid mistakes with your child’s medicines.
• Throw away oral syringes after each use with chemotherapy. You can wash and reuse oral syringes for all other medicines unless your care team tells you otherwise.
• Some oral syringes come with the medicine in the syringe (pre-filled). Pre-filled oral syringes have a cap on the end to prevent the liquid medicine from leaking. When ready to give the medicine, remove this cap and throw it away at once to prevent your child from swallowing or choking on it. There should never be a need to recap an oral syringe.
• Be sure that you understand the instructions for the medicine. If you are unsure about medicine or the supplies you are given, ask your care team before use.
