throat problems Panic over “symptomatuc refief” for throat problems

Read all of this leaflet carefully before you start taking this medicine because it contains important information for you. When I developed a sore throat as a young child my father persuaded me to gargle with the concoction.I was so scarred by the incident that, as a youngster, I never again admitted to having a sore throat. Even respected pharmacy companies such as Weldricks refer to “symptomatuc refief” rather than “symptomatic relief”. Always use this medicine exactly as described in this leaflet or as your doctor or pharmacist has toldyou. If symptoms of sore throat, hoarseness, loss of voice or catarrh are expected to appear, gargle well with 10 ml (two 5 ml spoonfuls) in twice the amount of water in the morning before breakfast and last thing at night. Capsicum has long been used in gargles for throat irritation or infection, although it seems that it has never been evaluated comprehensively for effectiveness or safety.
