How can I keep medicine out of the reach of children?
All Robitussin® products contain child-resistant packaging, however, it’s important to keep all medications out of sight and reach of children at all times.
Here are a few simple steps can help:
- Make sure you store medicine in a locked cabinet out of the sight and reach of your children.
- Never leave your medicine sitting out or in sight or within reach.

- Teach your children that Robitussin® is medicine– not candy.

Do children normally get more colds than adults?
While the average adult only gets 2-4 colds a year, children can average to 6-10 colds a year. That’s because children haven’t yet built up the immunity to viruses that adults have. Children are also exposed to a greater variety of illnesses at school, daycare and other social gatherings with other children.
