Reports to poison control centers about children ingesting a prescription drug called benzonatate rose from 2010 through 2018.
Benzonatate, sold under the brand name Tessalon, is a prescription drug approved for cough relief in patients over 10 years old.Poison control centers in the U.S. have seen an increase in reports of children ingesting a type of prescription cough medicine, a study published Tuesday by the Food and Drug Administration found.
The findings, published in the journal Pediatrics, were based on more than 4,600 cases reported to poison control centers. The biggest increase — 24% — was from 2015 to 2016. Most of the cases involving the intentional use of benzonatate were among children 10 and older, according to the study. It should also encourage more parents to keep their prescriptions out of the reach of children, said Dr. Nusheen Ameenuddin, a pediatrician at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
