Which of the following drugs could be used as a decongestant in a 6-year-old child?
  1. Pseudophedrine
  2. Psyllium
  3. Sirolimus
  4. Sulfisoxazole
Explanation
Answer: A - The FDA does not recommend the use of decongestants in children under 6. Pseudophedrine is used OTC in Dimetapp, Sudafed and Triaminic. Psyllium is a bulk laxative. Sirolimus is a macrocyclic lactone immunosuppressant, and sulfisoxazole is a short-acting sulfonamide anti-infective.
