I've had a discussion with my colleague at work about the change of legislation that currently restricts sale of cough-and-cold products containing diphenhydramine, guaifenesine, pseudoephedrine etc. to children under 6 years old. I was told that there are still some products on the shelves in old packaging stating that they are for children "2+" which actually cannot be sold to under 6s. I thought that this change of recommendations refers only to children under 2, according to RPSGB guidance.
Could you give me the names of the products with such misleading information on their packaging?
Thank you all.
Re: Cough-and-cold medicines for children under 6?
The MHRA guidance does not call for the recall of older stock which may still have the old instructions/precautions therefore this may still be available.
Their information is here:
