Sudafed syrup ofr children

[dikkertjedap]

Is it true that it is going to become prescription only? If so, from when onwards?
Thanks.

I didn't even know it existed!

didnt know it existed either. Never seen it

I hadn't heard that. But you can buy the same stuff labelled for adults - ds has had it since he was 2, on prescription at first then we couldn't be bothered with that so just bought it for 'us'

looks like its not for children under 6

That is right, it is not for children under six. However, once over six, it works a treat with severe colds to prevent ear infections etc. I only give it when dc have swimming lessons and a very bad cold (both prone to very bad ear infections) or we have to fly. It is a very good decongestant, although I prefer to give Sterimar (nasal salt water spray) first and if that doesn't work resort to Sudafed.

I was trying to get some more, but it seems that at Boots it is now prescription only (according to their website). That was not the case half a year ago. So I am wondering if I should start stocking up as it keeps for quite a while.
