CHPA educates nursing professionals with OTCsafety.org

SAN DIEGO The Consumer Healthcare Products Association last month educated nurse practitioners around its OTCsafety.org information portal, a consumer Web site with information on how to use over-the-counter medicines safely, the association announced Friday in its weekly newsletter.

CHPA exhibited at the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners’ 30th Annual Conference on Pediatric Healthcare March 19 to 22 and helped to educate 2,500 on OTCsafety.org and the CHPA Educational Foundation.

“Many of the attendees were especially interested in consumer information on children’s oral cough-and-cold medicines on behalf of their patients,” CHPA stated. “CHPA has an aggressive outreach program to ensure healthcare organizations and other interested stakeholders are familiar with OTCsafety.org and its resources.”
