Retailers are adding Coricidin HBP, an over-the-counter cough and cold medicine, to their list of drugs to closely monitor after two Merrill 20-year-olds overdosed on the drug Thursday.

Area grocery stores and pharmacies began restricting the sale of Dramamine by keeping the over-the-counter drug behind service desks in March after the Merrill Police Department investigated a case in which two teenage girls took large doses of the motion sickness medicine to get a hallucinogenic high.

And on Thursday, officers responded to two calls, one at 8:30 a.m. and one at noon, in which two 20-year-olds, who were friends, were taken to the hospital after ingesting at least 32 tablets of Coricidin each, said Lt. Ned Seubert of the Merrill Police Department.

"People have been taking the drugs off of the shelves to get high," he said. "It is unbelievable." Coricidin contains dextromethorphan, or DXM, which is often used to get high, but is dangerous in large doses and can result in death, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration Web site.

"The way things are going, everything will have to be put behind the counter, it seems," Bonnell said.

Cool, two less morons.

btw, there was an e-mail provided with that article. Did you take the appropriate steps in informing the author of the article about her minor story errors?

I wouldn't mind all DXM products being behind the counter, it would probably slow this flood of bad media coverage to a trickle.
