message: ====Of Strepsils Lozenges====
I'm tired and I should have jumped in bed HOURS ago so I must try limit myself here but if someone doesn't beat me to it, I may nip down to to supermarket and find out which varieties are avaiable in my country, prices etc... maybe do a Google search or similar...
**In New Zealand, Strepsils can contain one of several (combinations of) active ingredients including but not limited to Amylmetacresol, Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide, yada yada yada
*Each of these things is obviously for a different purpose. Those with anti(septic?) agents are for destruction of pathogens in the throat, other kinds might have antitussives or counterirritants, et cetera.
* And I believe each variety has a different flavour. I suspect there's a Honey & Menthol Variety, for example (although menthol of course supposedly creates a cooling, soothing/numbing effect or whatever and therefore will be included for more than its semi-popular flavour) 
*Now this is where it becomes notable imo, PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong..... One particularly interesting variety in New Zealand is STREPSILS COUGH, which contains 5mg(???) of Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide, an OTC recreational drug. This doesn't mean you can go to the shop and spend ten bucks on this and eat one and get high because you'd nead to SOMEHOW eat several dozen (dissolution, perhaps?) But anyway at this point I stray from my topic. Plenty of Information about DXM (2 or 3 references at bottom of article, however citation is apparently needed. Frankly I agree, the sources should be found easily and imo we shouldn't have to search for them) but if you don't find it terribly interesting, check out Erowid and then tell me what you think.
Also... does anyone think this article could really use expansion? I mean either way, it'll probably be done. I'm just interested in what everyone else thinks about it, too.

message: I've been trying to find out if any of the Strepsils contain food colouring - I'm allergic to 102 and my local pharmacy wasn't sure.
