OTC (DXM) Drug Abuse
“Think that drug abuse among teens is limited to illegal substances like marijuana and club drugs such as Ecstasy? Think again. If you're like most parents, you're probably not aware that a number of over-the-counter (OTC) products, such as many cold and cough medicines, can potentially be abused by teens looking to get high.”
