Heart pills put teens in hospital

"A 16-year-old Claymont, Delaware, boy was arrested on drug and assault charges Tuesday after selling two classmates at Mount Pleasant High School a powerful heart medicine, New Castle County police said. Believing they had purchased the narcotic Percocet, the two victims each swallowed several of the pills and suffered serious medical complications. The suspect found a bottle of the heart medicine Rythmol in his grandmother's home. The medicine had been prescribed for his grandfather, who is now deceased, police said." - DelawareOnline
