- Abstract
Evidence for the efficacy of over-the-counter cough and cold medications in young children is limited,[[1]] but they can lead to severe adverse events, including death.[3] In Australia, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) introduced compulsory labelling changes for non-prescription cough and cold products in 2012 (but not herbal products),[4] with further changes in 2020 for first generation (sedating) antihistamine-containing products[5] (further details: Supporting Information).
