I talk about situation that people can't have access to drug such as
2AM and children have stuff nose. Instruction is important for correct
dosage.


	Even at 2am you can find the correct dosage for an over-the-counter
medicine based on weight, either from a 24 hour pharmacist or even on
the web (as someone else pointed out, http://www.askdrsears.com has
excellent tables with dosages for OTC meds by weight).  You don't have
to rely on rules of thumb.  Some meds are linear by weight for kids
(e.g., Tylenol, which is 15mg/kg) and others aren't (especially cold
meds that have multiple active ingredients).
