Bingo - these are the core meds, I think, in most medicine cabinets - and for many children, even when they "Can" move up to tablets, don't (I know middle of the night, less swallowing I have to have him do = win).
I find it quite interesting that ALL of them are liquid. I have to replace my mom's meds for K as well :(
I got an email about this today, because I work in quality for a J&J company (although not the company in question.) J&J tends to be pretty hardcore about this sort of thing; they'd rather take the PR hit that comes with issuing a recall than risk causing harm to the consumer, even if the risk is remote. To give you an idea what I mean, last year my company put out a recall on a product that was shipped on a certain type of wooden pallet, because the pallets smelled kinda funny. Since they couldn't be 100% sure the product hadn't been affected by whatever was causing the musty smell, they pulled all the affected lots
( ... )
Lucky me at least, I have 3 of 4 in the NDC being recalled. Now that they have a specific ndc/input macro I can see if I'm still affected.
But I agree. With meds, something like dosage of the active ingredient isn't something to chance. Esp given how many parents don't dbl check diff medications aren't duplicating/overlapping. My ex liked to give me shit about how many Dimetapp & Triaminics I had - but when I was preggo I was able to take something when I got a cold. If a toddler can take, was better than asthmatic mother who couldn't breathe or sleep.
IMO both adult & kids meds need to have the Tylenol/Motrin taken out of them, so folks treat what they actually HAVE for symptoms.
