Ok, I have a really annoying cold, and last night was kept up by a hacking cold. So despite my general policy against meds, and against cough syrup in particular (except for the DM stuff, taken to excess, to knock you out ... if you stay up, you see tiny weird bunnies. Um, anyway ...).
Ahem.
Yes, so DH went out to get me some cough syrup, for a dry cough. I said stuff off the shelf was fine. He dutifully got some.
I read the insert, because I'm that kind of person, and it says the medication is ok while pregnant and bf, but you should check with your doctor before taking any medication.
What are the terribly dangerous active ingredients in this drug? Treacle, and glucose syrup. I shit you not. Oh, there's a tiny bit of menthol, presumably so the useless bloody cough syrup doesn't end up tasting nice? Gah.
