In reply to Marianne.

Some are behind the counter though, such as iron supplements. Taking too much can result in liver damage or failure. Even children who have been known to eat many pleasant- flavoured vitamins in shape of cartoon characters with iron, have had untoward effects. Baby aspirin (in my time) was tasty and kids would eat them like candy. Young children don't know and some parents need to be taught to keep these things locked up and NOT tell their children 'they are candy' if the child refuses to take them. Labels are super important!! As is teaching.
