AB The  household  medicine  cabinet  is  filled  with  products  that  are  potentially  toxic,  many  of  which  have  been  obtained  over  the  counter.  According  to  the  2011  American  Association  of  Poison  Control  Centers’  National  Poison  Data  System  (NPDS)  Annual  Report,  analgesics,  vitamins,  antihistamines  as  well  as  cough  and  cold  preparations  account  for  approximately  21%  of  all  exposures  in  children  younger  than  6  years.1  Oral  hypoglycemics,  which  are  also  ubiquitous,  are  another  common  household  danger  that  cause  significant  morbidity  and  mortality  in  children.
