- According to review published by the Cochrane Collaboration, there is no good evidence for or against the effectiveness of over-the-counter (OTC) medicines in acute cough.
Researchers performed a systematic review to assess the effects of oral OTC cough preparations for the management of acute cough. The review included data from 25 randomised controlled trials (RCTs) (17 in adults and 8 in children) comparing oral OTC cough preparations with placebo in a total of 616 children and 2876 adults suffering from acute cough in the ambulatory settings.
The systematic review described the available evidence, and also concluded that although there is no good evidence for the effectiveness of OTC preparations for acute cough, the results of this review have to be interpreted with caution because study designs, populations, interventions and outcomes varied markedly between studies, limiting the generalisability of the results.
[Note: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had also recently issued a Public Health Advisory for parents and caregivers, recommending that over-the-counter (OTC) cough and cold products should not be used to treat infants and children less than 2 years of age because serious and potentially life-threatening side effects can occur from such use – see link above for full details]
