Hylands offers parents relief to children’s cough-cold medication worries: homeopathic remedies
LOS ANGELES Hyland’s helped position homeopathic alternatives to allopathic cough-cold medicines as a viable alternative to parents seeking symptomatic relief for their children suffering from a cold in the wake of the Consumer Healthcare Products Association’s announcement earlier this week that those allopathic medicines should not be used for children under the age of four.
“Natural cough and cold medicines for children are not simply recent industry fads, but rather time-tested medications that are highly safe and effective,” stated Jim Sears, an expert in the field of pediatric medicine and advocate of natural medicines. “By being completely free of the active ingredients of concern to the FDA, homeopathic medicines provide symptom relief for children and peace of mind for parents everywhere.”
“It all comes down to understanding what you put into your body and the bodies of your children,” added J. P. Borneman, chairman and chief executive officer of Hyland’s. “At Hyland’s we create the types of children’s medications that we feel safe giving to our own kids. Our medicines treat the cause of sickness safely and gently, without fear of side effects, and are manufactured according to FDA’s Good Manufacturing Practices.”
Hyland’s offers a complete line of gentle products to treat the cough and cold symptoms of children, including:
• Cough Syrup with 100% Natural Honey 4 Kids
• Cold ‘n Cough 4 Kids, New
• Cold Relief with Zinc 4 Kids Strips, due in stores this winter
• Sniffles ‘n Sneezes 4 Kids
• Complete Flu Care 4 Kids
• C-Plus Cold Tablets
• Cough Syrup with Honey
• Earache Drops
“If parents take anything away from this situation, they should understand that they are their child’s greatest defense against avoiding the dangers associated with the OTC medications causing concern,” Sears said. “Parents need to make sure they are educated on the benefits of natural medicines available to them and their children so they are not forced to decide between treating their child’s sickness and keeping their child safe.”
