Did You Know the Abuse of Over the Counter Cough Medicine Is on the Rise With Teens?

Question by Bunny: Did you know the abuse of over the counter cough medicine is on the rise with teens?
I just wanted to give a shout out to teens who might be thinking about abusing over the counter cough medicines. Especially tablets. PLEASE don’t. There have been six deaths here in Wisconsin in the past several months, due to the overdosing of cough medicine, that comes in the form of red capsules. Please…Moms and Dads, go on the internet, tonight, and talk to your children about the dangers. Kids are trying to get an alchohol like “high”, and they don’t realize how many pills is too much, because of body weight. Talk to them, please!
I’m a nurse, you can Email me, if you have any questions. Thank you

That’s why it has to be kept behind locked doors here in CA. I think you also have to be 18 to purchase it.

Really really sad. Thanks for trying to get the word out ☺
