Sugar-free Cough Medicine

[Sugarbum]

Just incase this helps anyone who may be in the same dilema as me yesterday (that's anyone who is coughing up their lungs and has a red hooter!), I eventually managed to find a sugar free cough medicine called "Robitussin" in Boots the Chemist. Cost between ?3 and ?4 and actually tastes quite nice! (full of Sorbitol, but better than sugar and syrup!). Look for a blue, black and yellow box.

Hope that helps. I had trawled the streets and didnt find anything in Superdrug, Tesco or in my local chemist. I was determined to find a sugar free one!

Oooo. Will make a note Sugarbum, thanks. Just recovering from the dreaded manflu.

Found out I couldn't have sudafed tablets with ramipril in case of heart palpitations, but have a sudafed nasal spray which does the same job for up to 10 hours using a different forumulation.

I had robitussin back in the summer it helped a bit and last time doctor prescribed something he gave me pholcoedine which is quite effective.

Our local independant chemist makes up bottles of sugar free pholcodine. It doesn't taste nearly as good as the surary one - but it works just the same.

I always have a bottle in the cupboard, cos if I catch it early enough, it doesn't end up in a bad lung infection

Keep well everyone
