Abstract
Misuse of Over the Counter (OTC) medication is a common issue however, the long term consequences
of this unchecked act are less stressed particularly in child care. The current case is of an eight years
old boy studying in a Special Education School; referred for the Clinical assessment and
intervention of academic and behavioral problems. The adaptive behavior assessment revealed that the
child had moderate form of intellectual disability. It was found in anecdotal records that child had
consumed heavy quantity of syrup Phenergan in his infant years. The focus of brief therapeutic
intervention was to enhance his current adaptive behavior functioning. Multiple stakeholders including
parents, physician pharmacist should drift their attention towards this very issue.
