I'm not sure if I have posted this in the right area, if not, please feel free to move Moderators, I just want to share the information to others, who may be like me, and unaware that there are changes going on with cough and cold meds for children, and the reasons why. I know I have also included a link, but I dont know how to make it not appear as a web address... sorry.

Hi, as a mum of 3 kids, one under two, I thought I would pass this information to my friends who also have kids under two. Some of you may have already been aware of these changes, but if not, and you are like me, na?ve in how potentially harmful these medicines can be, then click the link to find out what is changing. TGA announcement regarding the use of cough and cold medicines in children

Information is power, and at least if you read it you will have the power to make informed decisions about giving your child cough and cold medicines. I was annoyed at the chemist for not selling me some this afternoon when I went to purchase it ? Aston has a cold, and I given him this type of medicine before. After reading it, I won?t be giving it to him anymore, unless advised and by prescription through a doctor.
