I've been working in the UK now since 1998, and I still examine the boxes of all the different varieties of benadryl-sinutab-sudafed plus/Co/Extra/Ultra Max etc... as I find it impossible to remember which one has got paracetamol or ibuprofen in it or not... |
You are missing the point, Senokot is a well-known heavily advertised frontline product, not an obscure one. The Pharmacist that I mentioned has been here for years, she should know by now. Her Clinical knowledge is woeful.
