THEY HAVE DISCONTINUED MEDISED

[BupcakesandCunting]

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

DS hasn't slept since friday night. Neither have I. Stuffed nose keeping him awake. As a last resort, I went to three Boots on a quest for Medised then at the forth Boots they blithely told me that there was No More Medised. Well thanks medicine people. You bastards.

AIBU to want to go and do a dirty protest at Medised HQ?

[Valpollicella]

Please do seek the phamacists advice though Bssh.

They might approve the use of it in that way but you should definately speak to them in case there are any contraindications with any other medications etc.

[MotherMucca]

Ah yes, phenergen is the cats whiskers.

[Valpollicella]

Honey [iiiinteresting]

Can you report back also?

[BsshBossh]

Oh yeah, would always check with a chemist and/or GP, Val, don't worry .

[beautyguru]

Lol at Honey and phlegm voodoo!!! Mym mum used to give me phenergan when I was a baby, got it on prescription and she said it was amazing stuff!

[Honeydragon]

Val I would but I don't drink , I'll try and convince dh this weekend

[seeker]

Olbas oil is the answer.

I just find these thread baffling.

[cluffyfunt]

vall, how do you know that rubbing garlic on feet makes ones breath smell garlicie?

I have garlic paste and a DH who sleep heavily....

[DollyTwat]

Another vote for phenergen here
I only used it in emergencies (no sleep for a week) and only for 3 nights max to break the habit of waking up constantly

Whatever anyone says, if you are on your own and your children are not sleeping, you turn into a Zombie. Better to catch up with sleep and get the dc into good sleeping patterns. Mine used to be very affected by the clocks changing

[Honeydragon]

this is so not going to be a good week for dh's and Mumsnet feet experiments.

[BupcakesandCunting]

Olbas Oil = like taking a fart to shit fight.

Do you really think that I'd opt to give my child medicine if bloody Olbas oil did anything?

[storminabuttercup]

Isn't phenegren the same as piriton? That's what the pharmacist recommended to me for ds but said it's for over 6's where piriton is over 1?

[PurpleRomanesco]

If it says for 6 and over then I think you should pass. I wouldn't take anything for myself that wasn't suitable because I would presume there was a very good reason.

Keep going with the Vicks! and make sure he doesn't blow his nose too much because it causes swelling and makes things worse! This lurgy is bad craic, it's been doing the rounds here too.

[Valpollicella]

I read it on the internet and tried it on myself and someone else once am just very clever like that Cluffy

[MollieO]

My GP (who is also a paed registrar) told me not to use Medised (I told him I had bought it but hadn't tried it). He said that its effects on brain development in children were not established and could be an issue. I gave the unopened bottle back to the pharmacy to be destroyed.

[PurpleRomanesco]

Oh and piriton can makes kids go bonkers!

[Valpollicella]

That's interesting to know MollieO

[BupcakesandCunting]

I don't want to speak too soon but I think that the Vick's on feet might be working...

[Honeydragon]

Voodoo

[PurpleRomanesco]

Is he sniffing his feet? :o

[cluffyfunt]

Ah I see not that clever though

I may still test it out as it sounds v interesting and funny.

[beautyguru]

Found Phenergan available to buy from various online pharmacies...might be trying it in the future...Olbas Oil is rubbish and actually makes my DD2 less likely to sleep...my HV warned me against it and said it can cause hyperactivity in some children..as can Karvol drops!!

[ledkr]

Fear not seeker Its safe its just that people have been known to use it to get their dc to sleep
bupcakes Its not for sale,at any price

All my Dr friends use it on their dc.

[Valpollicella]

its only cos I ballsed up and left a bloody space at the beginning
