Welcome to Meinstein Innovations, creator of the Pediatric Fever Fighter dosing card available now at all Buy Buy Baby® stores nationwide and at all Kerr Drug stores in North Carolina.

Developed by an ER physician with many years of experience, this unique card shows you exactly how much fever-reducing medication to give your infant or child based on the most reliable method – their weight!

One of the most common reasons for visits to the ER or the pediatrician is parents' inability to control their children's fever.  Under- or overdosing is all too common because the instructions that come with these medications are vague and incomplete. Our Pediatric Fever Fighter dosing card is the solution.

 

"One of those "why didn't I think of that" inventions, the card is great to keep in your medicine cabinet, diaper bag and even at Grandma's house." About.com

THE CRITICAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PEDIATRIC FEVER FIGHTER CARD AND THE DRUG MANUFACTURER'S GUIDELINES

It's pretty simple, really! The guidelines that come with the children's anti-fever and anti-pain medications are a broad range, not an exact measure. Our dosing card, on the other hand, is a precise measure, and that makes all the difference in the world! Here's why:

The manufacturer's instructions use weight ranges of 11 pounds for dosing. This is fine if your child is at the bottom of the dose range but will result in underdosing by as much as 2 ml or 30% of the child's bodyweight. This means that if you follow the instructions that come with the medications, your child or infant may very well not see his or her fever reduced! The gold standard for these meds is based on mg/kg dosing, giving an exact dose for any given weight. This is what our Pediatric Fever Fighter™ dosing card does for you. We've done the calculations for you that your pediatrician would recommend. In addition, our card advocates a method of alternating Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen not found in any drugstore handout, which is now the standard of care in pediatrics for difficult fevers.

We established Meinstein Innovations because we noticed a number of unmet needs in the health services industry. Our first product, the Pediatric Fever Fighter™ dosing card, finally gives parents a method to administer the most accurate dose for over-the-counter medications to control fever.

Our product is also the only one in the marketplace showing parents how to safely alternate medications between Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen for kids weighing more than 15 lbs.

"... a simple but brilliant invention ..."

As both a physician of 10 years and a mother, I fully endorse the Pediatric Fever Fighter Dosing Card. Knowing the most accurate dose of fever reducing medication would eliminate many traumatic emergency room visits. A MUST for parents of young children!

 "I love this card and will keep it posted on my refrigerator until my daughters are old enough to not need infant/children fever fighting medications. I highly recommend this card to all parents and caregivers -- because when it comes to our children it is up to us to ensure that they are given the proper dosage on all medications."

As a physician I am pleased to see a product with accurate information such as this to assist when we are not available. I would carry this product in my office.
