Numbers that never rub off.
Let customers speak for us
from 244 reviewsSo glad I have this. Saves me having to buy disposable syringes all the time. Super easy to keep clean, and I love the bottle lid part where you can get the last amount from the bottom of the bottle super easy, and no mess.
Very easy to use. Much less messy than using a disposable syringe
We bought as we were in the middle of our 2 children fighting influenza and I couldn't anymore with the syringes. The DoseBuddy was everything we needed at 3am - easy and simple to read, fit on top of the Pamol and Nurofen bottle so we could just tip it upside down and get the medication out. It's easy to clean, and the kids were able to be given the medicine easy. Highly recommend this product, it was well worth it and very helpful while we were in the trenches.
A long overdue upgrade! I am embarrassed to think about the number of syringes we have gone through, that can no longer be used to reliably measure medicine, due to the numbers having worn off.
Although the cost feels high, it will save you $$ over time. A great baby shower gift!
Very easy to use and clean, stoked we don’t have to keep replacing syringes now!
I got sick of the numbers rubbing off our plastic syringe and the one handed struggle trying to get liquid into the syringe and then i came across dosebuddy. So easy and smooth to use and the nunbers don't rub off. Definitely makes life easier when administrating liquid 😊
Couldn’t be happier with this superior syringe! Even bought one as a baby shower gift for my cousin as I know how often a syringe gets used. Really easy and comfortable to use. Thanks for bringing this out!
Sat on buying a couple tor 2 years due to expense. Finally bit the bullet & bought a couple.
Wow lives up to the hype!
My 2 grandies seem to be forever sick sadly.
Only had Dosebuddies a fortnight & they are in daily use. So appreciate the ease of getting sticky medicine out of bottle & best of all - clear measurements.
Only regret is not buying sooner lol
Super easy to use and wash. No more numbers rubbing off the side of syringes and all that plastic waste! Brilliant product. I genuinely recommend this - especially for parents of kids who need oral medicine daily.
Such an amazing product we are forever losing parts of the plastic syringes and the plastic ones always wear so quickly . This product is a must for kids - well done in creating this we love ours
My children are tweens and so I haven't been using pain relief as often as when they were little.
However, after my 9yo had a major surgery, I found the volume and frequency of liquid medicines quite overwhelming and was pouring them into a dish to be able to hoover up the large quantities I needed from the fat syringes I had, that didn't fit the bottles!
I was so pleased to find Dose Buddy as a great solution that could fit every bottle of medicine I was administering, good volumes for an older child and was easy to clean and get ready for the next dose. Brilliant product that solves a real-world pain point.
I have a child who now has to take liquid medication twice a day for at least two years. The numbers on the disposable syringe were wearing away quickly and it was a challenge getting medicine out of the bottle without pouring it into another container first. The dose buddy helped solve both of these problems. The doses are clear to see and it is so easy to clean afterwards too.
The syringe is honestly one of the best parenting purchases I’ve made! It will definitely be my go-to baby shower gift from now on. My oldest is six, and I only wish I’d discovered it that many years ago!
Ours arrived just in time for all three of our children to come down with the flu, so it’s already had a serious workout, and it did not disappoint. My favourite features are the etched measurements, being able to reach right into the bottom of a medicine bottle, and the fact that it’s dishwasher safe.
Such a simple product, but so incredibly well thought out. Thank you for creating something that genuinely makes giving medicine to kids that little bit easier!
Absolute best product, wish we had bought sooner! Saves the scramble around for matching syringe bits and guessing amounts. Such a great idea and loved the colour choices too. Going to start buying as gifts for any first time mum-friends 🤍
Love it! The soft silicone is so much nicer to put in my baby’s mouth than a hard plastic. It has made it a lot easier and less messy using the bottle top no more medicine on the outer of the syringe and it’s easier to get the last of it out without pouring it on you.

Why DoseBuddy?
-
Numbers that don't rub off. Ever.
Sick of replacing single use syringes because the numbers wear off after a couple uses? Same. That's why DoseBuddy has etched numbers that won't rub off.
-
Mess-free cap.
With a syringe that doesn't reach the bottom of the bottle, you have to pour medicine into another vessel and then suck it up without knocking it all over the bench. Sounds like time you don't have. Our mess free cap fits snug with our syringe so you get a mess free dose, right to the bottom of the bottle.
-
Soft silicone sleeve.
Our unique silicone sleeve makes DoseBuddy soft and gentle for gums! We know it can be a battle to get little ones to open wide but the tapered tip means you can slide DoseBuddy in easily while the moulded grip makes it comfortable for you to hold.
FAQs
What materials is DoseBuddy made from?
What materials is DoseBuddy made from?
DoseBuddy uses durable, high-quality materials chosen for safety, longevity, and ease of cleaning:
- A borosilicate glass barrel that’s strong, smooth, and resists scratches.
- Food-grade silicone sleeve, bung, and cap — soft on gums and easy to clean.
- A BPA-free plastic plunger with etched numbers that won't rub off.
How do I clean DoseBuddy?
Wash with warm soapy water or pop it in the dishwasher in the cutlery holder. Find full cleaning instructions on our how to use page.
Can DoseBuddy go in the dishwasher?
Yes — you can give it a quick hand wash with hot, soapy water, or pop it in the dishwasher. Find full cleaning instructions on our how to use page.
How does the cap work?
The silicone cap is designed to fit snugly on most children’s liquid medicine bottles. Attach it, flip the bottle, and draw up your dose straight through the cap — no extra pouring or mess. Find full instructions on our how to use page.
Does the DoseBuddy cap replace the usual medicine bottle lid?
No. The DoseBuddy cap has a small hole for the syringe, so it doesn’t keep medicine sealed and it isn’t child-proof. Always replace your medicine’s original cap straight after use.
Are there different sized caps?
Not at the moment. The cap is designed to fit the most common medicine bottle necks and has some natural flex thanks to the silicone.
If your bottle has a smaller neck, you can use DoseBuddy without the cap. For larger necks, use DoseBuddy like a regular syringe (only better, because the numbers won’t rub off).
We don’t guarantee the cap will fit every bottle and can’t offer refunds for cap-fit issues.
Are there different sized syringes?
DoseBuddy currently comes in a 10 ml size — perfect for doses over 2.5mls. We are working on a 5ml version for smaller doses.
Created by parents
We've spent many a night, bleary eyed, trying to hunt down a syringe that doesn't have all the numbers worn off while a sick child cried out for us. We wanted better for our kids and we wanted better for yours. That's why we worked in consultation with a qualified pharmacist to create DoseBuddy. Because we just get it.
