Although there are couple minor inaccuracies, I appreciate this
paragraph:
"One major way teens are getting their DXM fixes is by taking "triple
C" - Coricidin HBP Cough and Cold, which contains 30 mg of DXM in
little red tablets. Users taking large volumes of triple C run
additional health risks because triple C contains an antihistamine as
well. The list of other ingredients - decongestants, expectorants, and
pain relievers - contained in other Coricidin products and OTC cough
and cold preparations compound the risks associated with DXM and could
lead to a serious drug overdose."
It not only points out that taking the "correct" (emphasis on the
quotation marks) Coricidin product is more dangerous than DXM-only
products, unlike so many tards who fail to mention that, it notes that
for the few who don't *know* which one to buy, the other Coricidin
products could truly be *deadly*, in particular the couple that
contain Tylenol (APAP/acetaminophen/paracetamol).
I happened to notice, the other day at the grocery store, that they
were sold out of Coricidin Cough and Cold, but not the other Coricidin
products. What else is new. The other products are a write off, just
like the many DXM products, including CCC, which are shoplifted. The
only one they sell any quantity of is CCC, and it's the only one they
ever intended to sell any quantity of.
I am gonna put my foot right up their ***** ass.
