Report: North Dakota Health Mart pharmacy tackles kids' fear of monsters with 'Monster Spray'

WATFORD CITY, N.D. — Do you have a little one who is convinced there are monsters lurking about the bedroom at night? If so, you may need a prescription for “Monster Spray.”



At least that’s the solution offered at Barrett Health Mart Pharmacy in Watford City, N.D., where pharmacy manager Josslyn Dodd has been writing children prescriptions for “Monster Spray” for the past five years or so, according to an article in the Huffington Post.

According to the article, Austin Johnson, a pharmacy technician at Barrett, was at a friend’s house when she noticed her friend’s 6-year-old daughter didn’t want to go to bed because of the "monsters" in her bedroom. Johnson told her friend about the “Monster Spray” and wrote up the “prescription.”



“I had to put it in the prescription bottle. She wouldn’t have believed it if it hadn’t come from the pharmacy with the label," Johnson was quoted as saying.
