I Have a Question

When I take the cough syrup from the doc, it will put me to sleep. The cough syrup has finished. Now I'm taking a cough syrup from a pharmacy store. Is it save to take otc cough syrup each time I wake up (1 table spoon) so that I can sleep. I wake up 3-4 times at night becoz of the cough. This means I will take 3-4 table spoon of the cough syrup. I know the cough syrup at the store is milder than the cough syrup from the doc. Thank you for your advise.

MissingNote. Thank you. I will take note on that. I will read the leaflet. I'm drowsy becoz of not enough sleep. I desperately want to get rid of the cough.

Do not exceed the maximum daily dosage. Most cough medication has acetaminophen (tylenol) which can cause liver failure. During waking hours, switch to cough drops, and if you need something stronger, get your parents to pick up something like Theraflu (OTC but behind the counter because it is illegally used to make meth).
probably one with dextro-methoripan
known and effective cough suppressant,, (Not an expectorant,)
it also induces sleep
HOWEVER<, it, and nyquil like things
as SOON as your cough stops
take no more
and be ready for a sleepless nite or 2
and yes, it is addictive. but you can back out over two days

Taliesin, thank you. I will check with the pharmacist/chemist. I've tried one an a half table spoon, and I'm okay. I'm thinking of taking two or more becoz I'm desperate. I'll ask the pharmacist. Tq again.

Check the dosage on the label, or talk to your local pharmacist/chemist

Frostyflower, not exceed maximum dose daily? Okay, I'll take note on that. Thank you. I also take cough drops at day time. The cough is worse during night time. I'll talk to my parents about Theraflu. I haven't heard of that. Thank you again.
