Do you syn non prescription meds?

[pixie-gem]

Such as cough/cold medicines etc?

That was all really lol

I'm from the old school of "if you need it, take it" but I know a lot of you will probably disagree so don't shoot the thread starter please

 

[Jenna88]

I personally wouldn't, then again it would be very rare that I would take something like this as I'm very much a 'let a cold run its course' kind of gal.
I doubt you're going to be abusing it and having it because it's yummy so I wouldn't worry.

 

[pixie-gem]

Yeah I am generally with colds, coughs though are another matter, I just have big glugs of cough medicine which I'm sure has sugar in it as it tastes like cherries.

 

[Jenna88]

Ooh nice! I wish I was still small enough for orange calpol to work...God that stuff tasted GOOD! Banana one was rotten hehe!

 

[Texty_F]

Gawd Jenna I know you said you needed a drink girl but calpol is a bit desperate lol.

 

[Texty_F]

I don't think I would syn it either pixie - unless your planning on using it in a cocktail that is lol

 

[Jenna88]

Gawd Jenna I know you said you needed a drink girl but calpol is a bit desperate lol.

Who needs wine? lol! I swear, it really is yum
*disclaimer* I am not promoting recreational use of calpol hehe!

* enrols Jenna at medicines anonymous* - Hi my name is Jenna and Im addicted to childrens medicines lol

 

[pixie-gem]

Hahaha

Nowt wrong with Calpol missy I used to love it too....stupid yucky tasting adult medicines lol

Although I like the benelyn one which is what tastes like cherries, that other brown stuff (linctus I think) now that is just evil!

Occasionally I'll have a lemsip but no more than 2 a day.

I'm sure if I was eating packets and packets of tunes/lockets I would start counting.....maybe

 

[Jenna88]

I think I saw today on a fbook group that a packet of lockets was 8 syns. Don't quote me on it though.

 

[Texty_F]

I actually love Covonia (god I can hear myself singing it Covooooooooonia) lol

 

[pixie-gem]

Blimmin heck!
I think they're horrid but can eat tunes so they're probably just as bad?!
Oopsie

 

[pixie-gem]

Hehe I did the song in my head too

 

[Texty_F]

Hehe its infectious you best take ya medicine

 

[jaylou]

Depends on how good I'm being at following the plans! Lemsip a are half, cough otvthray sweets are just that, sweets , probably about one each and cough syrup the same. You could easily run up your day's syns.

So, I probably wouldn't syn lemsips but the sweets I would. That's if I took them, which I generally don't!!!

I had a rotten cold last week and was talking strepsils and cough medicine and I had a gain. my consultant said it could be down to the strepsils & medicine because apart from that I had a good week

 

[WelshJojo]

If you need cough syrup, there is a sugar free one(designed for diabetics) called Pavacol D
HTH

Thanks guys, shall look for the medicine, hopefully it's not yucky but if it gets that bad i probably won't care as long as it helps!
