Stop Medicine Abuse is an education and prevention initiative focused on reducing teen misuse of over-the-counter cough and cold medicines, particularly products containing dextromethorphan (DXM). An initiative of the Consumer Healthcare Products Association and leading cough medicine makers, it explains that DXM medicines can be safe and effective when used according to their labels, while taking excessive amounts to get high can be dangerous.
The organization provides information to help parents recognize warning signs, understand medicine labels, and talk with teens about misuse, peer pressure, and online challenges. Its website features practical prevention resources, personal stories from parents, teens, and experts, and guidance for teachers, coaches, retailers, pharmacists, and other community members. Visitors can also learn about awareness campaigns and ways to participate in prevention events. Stop Medicine Abuse encourages families to monitor medicines at home, share reliable information, and act early if they notice concerning behavior or missing medication. For people worried about a child’s medicine use, the initiative lists confidential support by phone, text, and email.
