Infant Meds Pulled from Shelves

Drug makers pulled cold medicines targeted for babies and toddlers off the market Thursday, leaving parents to find alternatives for hacking coughs and runny little noses just as fall sniffles get in full swing.
The move represented a preemptive strike by over-the-counter drug manufacturers - a week before government advisers were to debate the medicines' fate. But it doesn't end concern about the safety of these remedies for youngsters. Children between 2 and 6 aren't covered by the removal of the meds and this debate is still going to be looked at my government regulators.

The real issue is that it's widely excepted in the medical community that these medications do not work at all...Yet parents see all of the brightly colored options on the children's aisles...
