Greg at Daddy Types adds to my worries…

Turns out all the active ingredients in infant and children’s cough & cold remedies were essentially grandfathered into the FDA regulatory system because of decades of use in adults, and so they’ve never been systematically tested or researched for use in kids.

Not that the occasion for cold medicine has arisen yet but it leaves me questioning all the other OTC products that are recommended to us by family, friends, pediatricians, and pharmacists. Sigh.
