Sugar-free cough syrup?
« on: March 05, 2012, 04:35:37 PM »
I am recovering from bronchitis and wonder if anyone has searched for and/or found a sugar-free cough syrup.  My doctor introduced me to FTS so he searched for some samples and gave me the one with the lowest amount of sugar but he was unaware of a sugar-free brand.  I was in codeine cough syrup territory but info on over the counter brands would also be helpful.  I would certainly never risk my health because of a possible sugar craving but, if it can be avoided, I'd rather.

It seems that the size of the diabetic population would make SF medications popular.

I use the sugar free Ricola cough drops. Lemon and Mountain Herb they work great.
Hope you feel better soon.

Well where I live in NC we use a T of whiskey with a touch of lemon juice and honey. You could use the sf honey. :) sure does make you sleep good! At my house growing up we had to cut that home remedy out when my bro became a teenager...he developed a chronic 'cough' that needed lots of medicine apparently. :)

Hope you feel better soon, Andrea! :) :) :)

Prayers going up for you from here too!

I've heard of sugar free cough syrup bases for prescription cough syrups to address the needs of diabetics.

I use Ricolas too!
They really sooth a sore throat wonderfully!
