Cold remedy makers pull infant cold medications over safety concerns
  1. There is no cure for the common cold. Children will usually recover from coughs and colds in time on their own. The common cold is a mild, viral infection that can be managed by rest, sufficient fluid intake and comfort measures.

  2. When it comes to children under age two there are no recommended doses on these products, so it's not reasonable to claim they are safe and effective when used as directed

  3. Because cough and cold medications often contain multiple ingredients, it is advised not to give more than one cough and cold product to a child

  4. The stand here is that Wyeth Consumer Healthcare is no longer recommending the use of cough-cold products in children under two years of age, and we are voluntarily withdrawing our infant cough and cold medications in the Canadian market

  5. We will communicate definitely to health professionals, consumers and we definitely communicated to Health Canada, so there's an entire process which is taking place now.
