Just deal with it baby
Posted September 30th, 2007 by minortopics | via www.nytimes.comA study turned into the FDA for consideration, suggests that decongestants for children under 2 and antihistamines for children under 6 could pose a danger. Unfortunately, many parents may lament the decision as the remedies really do work, but apparently ignoramus parents are overdosing their children because labels are like math — “they’re hard”.
READ the labels people!:
WASHINGTON, Sept. 28 — Safety experts for the Food and Drug Administration urged the agency on Friday to consider an outright ban on over-the-counter, multisymptom cough and cold medicines for children under 6.
The recommendation, in a 356-page safety review, is the strongest signal yet that the agency may take strong action against the roughly 800 popular medicines marketed in the United States under names like Toddler’s Dimetapp, Triaminic Infant and Little Colds.
