Medicines used to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder in children may increase the risk of sudden unexplained death, a new study has concluded. According to the study, funded by the Food and Drug Administration and the National Institute of Mental Health, children taking stimulant ADHD drugs such as Ritalin were several times more likely to die suddenly than those not taking the medication. However, researchers noted that instances of sudden death were rare, affecting fewer than 1 in 10,000 children.  [Washington Post].

Rare or not, 1 death of a child is too many.
