Advocating for Better Pediatric Pain Solutions! Casey Cashman, director of U.S. Pain's Pediatric Pain Warrior Program, proudly represented us recently at an FDA public workshop on nonprescription analgesic/antipyretic drug development for children ages 2 to under 12. Joining a panel of experts—including Leanne West, president of the International Children’s Advisory Network—Casey highlighted the unmet needs and challenges in managing pediatric pain and fever. Together, they emphasized the critical need for tailored over-the-counter solutions for children, addressing long-standing gaps in care. We’re honored to contribute to these meaningful discussions and are grateful to the FDA and all stakeholders working toward better care for kids. Let’s keep pushing for compassionate, effective solutions—because every child deserves brighter, pain-free days. Join us in advocating for kids and their families! #PediatricPain #Advocacy #BetterCare #PediatricPainWarrior #PainManagement #FDA
