Study: Most children's medicines contain confusing measuring devices
Doctors are urging caution with over-the-counter children's medicine as new research released today shows that many products are confusing and could lead to deadly overdoses.
The study found that of 148 products that came with measuring devices, almost all of them - 146 - had inconsistencies between the directions in or on the package and the markings on the device. The research, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, looked at the 200 top-selling pediatric liquid medications in late 2008 and through October of 2009.
