More Zegerid mixing questions

[Anonymous]

I’m making the 20mg Zegerid, 20mg Prilosec, 19mL MCS mixture.

The Omeprazole I bought (Walmart brand) has the bicarb as a tablet
inside the capsule. Do I need to crush that, or will it eventually
dissolve in my mixture?

Dosing instructions say:

Age	Dose per day (mg/kg/ dose)
< 3 months	1.5 mg/kg three times per day

My child is 13lbs and 10 weeks old:

13lbs = 5.89kg
5.89kg x 1.5mg = 8.835mg

It says “Dose per day”.

Does this mean he needs 8.835mg for the entire day, split into 3 doses of 2.945mg?

Or 3 doses of 8.835mg?

I saw a mention of a minimum dose of 3.5mL, which would have 7mg.

discard the tablet

3 doses of 8.8mgs

8.8mgs + 8.8mgs + 8.8mgs
