I found a new variety of DXM at the store, is it safe to use?
| Q: |
I've never tried DXM before, but today I decided to head to the drug store in search of some. Along with the classic cherry Robitussin Maximum Strength Cough, they had a new kind I've never heard of before called Robitussin 'Honey Cough'. The back of the box lists the following ingredients:
Active : Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide, USP 10 mg.
Inactive : Flavors, Glycerin, Honey, Liquid Glucose, Methylparaben, Propylene Glycol, Purified Water, Sodium Benzoate.
This seems like the perfect alternative for those who can't stand the cherry flavored maximum strength cough syrup. I bought a 4oz. bottle. I'd like to find out if there are any dangers to taking this particular stuff (other than the inherent risks taking DXM involves). I was surprised that I couldn't really find any information on it here or in the DXM FAQ. Maybe it's just new, but still you can see why I'm cautious.
