I knew this was coming but I'm wondering if anyone has a list of which medicines contain pholcodine? I've just read its even in Difflam which is worrying because my ds is due an operation and used Difflam only a few weeks ago.

It seems to be an ingredient in far more medicines than I realised.

I'm sorry I don't know - but I was on pholcodiene itself....so I've stopped!I think I'd mention it to every professional you see about the surgery

The pharmacist at my surgery today assured me it's very rare
