Welcome to Mom's Medicine Chest

Busy moms need quick access to safe, reliable information about their kids' health, illness symptoms, and medicine.

Mom's Medicine Chest was developed by a pharmacist to provide answers to your frequently asked questions concerning treatments for your child's most common symptoms and illnesses.

While many natural and homeopathic products are available - our focus is on providing information about common over-the-counter (OTC) medications - which have been proven to be safe and effective for children (evidence-based medicine).

Mom's Medicine Chest is not a substitute for the advice of your pediatrician or family physician.  We strive to give you the most up to date information and best choices for treating your child (pediatric medicine).

Many safe and effective treatments can be found at your local pharmacy or supermarket. We focus on medications you can find without a prescription (over-the-counter).
