I bought my son a bottle of Medised a couple of days ago beacuse he is poorly with a cought and cold. I always read labels to make sure that I am giving it to him correct etc. I had to laugh when i read a bit that said 'May cause drowsiness, so avoid operating heavy mahcinary, drinking alcohol and driving'! My so is 10 months old! Why does it say this on a childrens medicine?

Ha ha, i suppose if its an adult takes it and they cant sue. On the side of Nytol sleeping remedy it says 'warning this may cause drowsiness' der i hope so! And on peanuts it says 'warning this product may contain nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' What a mad world we live in eh? I hope your little one feels better soon x

its silly =) but its a legal requirement the may cause drowsiness is a definite must at least, the vehicle operation warning is in case an adult takes it because some medicines are still appropriate for adults and children

probable not, however it would want to have hastened his lack of existence or higher his suffering if it changed into an incorrect dosage or medicine that ought to not take delivery of to canines. Tylenol is in loads of kid drugs, however that's poisonous to canines. without understanding how a lot of what, no one can somewhat say something. not in any respect supply human medicine to animals till a vet direct you too. might want to your mom supply a ill baby canines drugs? similar element.

just in case....... my kids are 3, 6, 8 and 12 and they have jobs, i would never allow them to use equipment after taking their medicine though. My 8 year old would try and get away with having a crafty pint with her medicine, but i am a responsible parent, i am not gonna stand for that. I think its good that they have these warnings, we can't watch our kids all day can we?

because some adults cant take tablets and in a high enough quantity it acts as a paracetamol and decongestant for adults

I suppose they just have to make you aware of all possible side side effects. It's called covering their own backsides. HA HA. Daft sometimes though - I agree.

It's stupid but it's just a standard warning. It's like packets of nuts that say 'contains nuts'.

Because no doubt an adult will take it so it's precautions for them.
