Cough Medicine Risks: What Every Parent Needs to Know
“I was absolutely clueless about this until Joey landed in the er with an overdose, and many other parents I've spoken to had no idea that kids would abuse over-the-counter medicines either, Joey, and I think it's really important to inform the public about this accessible substance that's right under our noses.”
Imagine your teen overdosing on something as common as cough medicine. In this compelling episode of the 'Safe Home Podcast', Joey and his moms, Beth and Jan, share their harrowing experience with over-the-counter (OTC) drug abuse. Joey came dangerously close to losing his life twice due to Coricidin overdoses. This episode is a wake-up call for parents everywhere about the hidden dangers lurking in their medicine cabinets.

They also provide practical advice on how to keep these drugs out of reach and what steps to take if you suspect your child is experimenting with them. With raw honesty and heartfelt stories, this episode is not just informative but also deeply moving.
