RODRIGUEZ ALVAREZ, D.; MOLINA GUTIERREZ, M. A.  and  MARTINEZ ARIAS, V.. Antitussives’ poisoning: a case report. Rev Pediatr Aten Primaria [online]. 2015, vol.17, n.66, pp.e137-e139. ISSN 1139-7632.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1139-76322015000300013.

Antitussive drugs are commonly used in Pediatrics, although their effectiveness is not clearly demonstrated. Most of the accidental intakes do not tend to be associated with severe complications; however sometimes potentially serious side effects may occur. A case of poisoning is presented with a cough suppressant product.
