B42. What needs to be considered when recommending the use of cough and cold medicines in children?

Cough and cold medicines for children:

Health professionals are advised of the following:

No changes have been made to the scheduling of over-the-counter (OTC) cough and cold medicines and a prescription is not required. However, a recommendation for treatment with these medicines in a child under 6 years of age constitutes off-label use. These recommendations for treatment should not be made without serious consideration of the risks and benefits. There is no robust evidence of efficacy for these medicines in children and there are a number of safety concerns. While the safety concerns are lower in children aged 6 - 11 years than in children aged less than 6 years, they should be taken into consideration when advising parents on the management of coughs and colds.

The possible dangers.

The low success rate.

The age of the child.
