Guest guest Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 I work for a professional organization of pharmacists, and I just wanted to point out that new research indicates that there is no benefit to using cough medicine! So you might just want to skip it. Ellen in land > > I called on the cough syrups made by Equate and Safeway for the Tussin DM > and found they were made by Perrigo.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Do you mean the study that evaulated just 100 children for only 1 night? I've read several articles on it, and according to some of the reviewers the study was too small and too short to actually be meaningful. My son, asthmatic and slightly immuno-compromised, does much better with a cough syrup/decongestant combo recommended by his doctor. He, like probably a lot of kids with stuffy/runny noses, coughs at night when the mucus drips in his throat. The decongestant helps stop that.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Actually have checked that, but in his case, it's allergies combined with a high susceptibility to respiratory infections. Now that we're homeschooling and he's catching fewer bugs, things are improving.
