Risk Assessment for Children Exposed to OTC Drugs

Panel to advise on safety dossier for accidental poisonings in children to OTC drugs and wellness ingredients.

SciPinion is working to develop guidelines for setting safe doses or potentially toxic doses (PTDs) in children for over-the-counter (OTC) drugs and wellness compounds (e.g., vitamins).  Setting PTDs will help guide which dosage formulations should be packed in child protective packaging.  We are in need of experts in setting safe exposure levels in children, pharmacologists, and experts in packaging of products to serve on a peer review panel.
