I think what they are going to find is that more babies will die now because idiotic parents (those "rare" kind) will be giving their babies the adult meds in tiny doses which will probably end up harming their babies even more.
Taxi, I firmly agree with you. I do believe that parents will now "water down" the child dosage for their babies.
Everyone knows not to switch meds, and to give the right amount for the right weight...sadly it doesn't always happen. A couple of years ago one of my friends niece actually killed her 2 year old by incorrectly medicating. Her older son had had pnemonia and had been prescribed a codine cough medicine. She gave her younger child what she though would be an appropriate dose for him of that medicine. He only had a cold...he never woke up....
People will do this same thing with over-the-counter meds too. I think we will see a bigger problem because of the recall. :twocents: :twocents:
