AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS:
Use of Codeine- and Dextromethorphan-Containing Cough Remedies in Children

Committee on Drugs

Numerous prescription and nonprescription medications are currently available for suppression of cough, a common symptom in children. Because adverse effects and overdosage associated with the administration of cough and cold preparations in children have been reported, education of patients and parents about the lack of proven antitussive effects and the potential risks of these products is needed.


Statement of reaffirmation:

AAP Publications Retired or Reaffirmed, October 2006

Pediatrics 119: 405-405. [Full Text]

The following policy statement has been revised:

Use of Codeine-and Dextromethorphan-Containing Cough Syrups in Pediatrics

Pediatrics 62: 118-122.
