Celebrity medical personalities are starting to notice these startling numbers. Recently Dr. Drew Pinsky, host of the popular radio show “Loveline” and the star of the VH1 hits “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew” and “Sober House,” announced that he was joining the national Five Moms Campaign whose goal is to further educate parents and legislators about the dangers of cough medicine abuse.
