- Title
Cough and cold remedies for children.
- Authors
Sung, Valerie; Cranswick, Noel
- Abstract
Over-the-counter cough and cold remedies for children under two years of age have recently been rescheduled to prescription-only. This will mean that doctors and pharmacists will encounter more consultations for such medicines. These drugs are no longer recommended in children because of the lack of efficacy and reports of serious adverse events.
