>>CVS, Walgreens Placing Purchase Limits On Children's Pain Relievers
(Undated) -- CVS and Walgreens are limiting purchases of some children's pain relievers and fever reducing medication. Manufacturers are reporting increased demand and short supplies of the products nationwide. Respiratory illnesses have been rampant in young kids so far this season, with the CDC reporting four out of every one-thousand U.S. children under five-years-old being admitted to hospitals with RSV. Anita Brinkman with the Consumer Healthcare Products Association says sales of over-the-counter pain and fever drugs for kids are up 65 percent compared with this time last year.
