Perrigo to Introduce New Dosing System and Labeling for Certain Pediatric Pain Relievers
Date:5/5/2011

ALLEGAN, Mich., May 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Perrigo Company (Nasdaq: PRGO; TASE) today announced it will be changing the dosing device for pediatric suspensions from a dropper to a new syringe dosing system designed to help consumers more clearly dispense the proper amount of medication.
