Over-the-counter medication in children: friend or foe?
Over-the-counter medications are often taken by adults, and given to children, to relieve minor ailments.
Despite being freely available from a pharmacy or supermarket, many preparations are of unproven benefit.
Some OTCs have the potential for harm, especially in the young.
Health professionals, as well as parents, have a responsibility to be cautious about giving drugs to children.
