tips for getting an 18mth old to take pripsen, please

[flowerfairy]

as title suggests. My 18mth old ddhas threadworms, so pharmacist gave me some pripsen. But i tried in water and milk this morning, but only a couple of mouthfuls consumed. Will this be enough? There is the follow up dose to take but wold prefer to have her consume enough to get rid of the blighters!
TIA

Pretty sure they are not recommended for children under the age of 2?

Give the pharmacist a ring, ask about the quantity taken by your dd so far - if the pharmacist thinks that it's not enough, then I would suggest seeing if you can get the liquid form of this medicine. It's called Vermox oral suspension, and is a lot easier to administer to small children with a medicine syringe.
