TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - Pediatric poisonings: the risk of over-the-counter pharmaceuticals JO - Pediatric annals A1 - Hines, Elizabeth Quaal SP - e454 EP - e458 VL - 46 IS - 12 N2 - Every week in the United States, 56% of children younger than age 18 years and 82% of adults take at least one medication. Nonprescription medications, including acetaminophen and ibuprofen, are among the most commonly used pharmaceuticals across all age groups. Use of nonprescription medications, traditionally available over-the-counter, has become ubiquitous. Unfortunately, with such abundant use there is an associated risk for therapeutic misuse, intentional misuse, and even abuse. [Pediatr Ann. 2017;46(12):e454-e458.].
