Nearly one in 12 children taking multiple prescription medications are at risk of experiencing harmful side effects caused by drug-drug interactions, including sudden death, according to a new study.
Dima Qato, an associate professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago who is the lead author of the study, said it provides “valuable insight” on the number of young people in the country who use prescription medications, and that it identifies populations at risk for adverse events.
