Answer:

Be sure to read the label for the ingredients and dosage.

Explanation:

OTC (over the counter) are the drugs that are taken without the prescription of any doctor. Some common OTC that are available in the market are naproxen, aspirin and ibuprofen.

The care must be required if the OTC is given to the child. Sometime OTC may result in pain, fever is taken in excess amount. The label should be read properly and the ingredient must be read before giving it to the children. These OTC might also affects the central nervous system and digestive system of the children.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

Answer:

A. Be sure to read the label for the ingredients and dosage."

Explanation:

Care must be taken to make sure that the child receives the correct dose of any anti-inflammatory agent. This can be a problem because many of these drugs are available in OTC pain, cold, flu, and combination products. Parents need to be taught to read the label to find out the ingredients and the dosage they are giving the child. Aspirin for flulike symptoms in children is to be avoided due to the increased risk for Reye's syndrome. Children are more susceptible to the GI and central nervous system effects of these drugs, so the drugs should be given with food or meals. Acetaminophen is the most used anti-inflammatory drug for children. However, parents need to be cautioned to avoid overdosage, which can lead to severe hepatotoxicity.
