The
cough and cold season is here, and we have important information to share
about infants' and children's cough and cold medicines. These medicines
are generally recognized as safe and effective when used as directed. Most
parents use these cough and cold medicines appropriately.
However,
we have become aware of rare instances of misuse leading to accidental
overdose, especially in children under the age of two. Therefore, we are
voluntarily withdrawing the following concentrated cough and cold
medicines from the market:
- Concentrated Tylenol® Infants' Drops Plus Cold
- Concentrated Tylenol® Infants' Drops Plus Cold & Cough
- PediaCare® Infant Dropper Decongestant
- PediaCare® Infant Dropper Long-Acting Cough
- PediaCare® Infant Drops Decongestant (containing pseudoephedrine)
- PediaCare® Infant Dropper Decongestant & Cough
- PediaCare® Infant Drops Decongestant & Cough (containing
pseudoephedrine)
If you have these products in your
household, please discontinue use in children under the age of two. These
actions do not apply to cough and cold medicines labeled for children aged
two and above.
Additionally, these actions do not apply to Infants'
and Children's Tylenol® and Motrin® pain relievers and fever reducers.
When used as directed, these products are safe and effective.
As
always, it is important to medicate carefully. Always use the exact dosage
device that comes with the medicine. Use the medicine only as directed.
And keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
Whenever you
have questions about how to treat your child's cough and cold symptoms,
call your doctor.
For specific questions about our products, call
1-877-895-3665 or visit Tylenol.com
Your child's safety continues to be our number
one priority.
This message is brought to you by the makers
of Tylenol® and PediaCare®.
We
realize these changes may be inconvenient for you, and we are happy to
provide a valuable coupon to use on one of several products of your
choice.
