Triaminic Nighttime Cough and Cold

Triaminic Nighttime Cough and Cold medicine contains antihistamine and decongestants as one of its active ingredients. On December 6, 2007, the New England Journal of Medicine published an article that found that children under six taking antihistamines in over the counter cough and cold medications were linked to having hallucinations. Medications with decongestants are linked to cardiac arrhythmias and other cardiovascular events.
