Is it one of the cold remedies which have just been banned?
Someone may have a very rare reaction if they have a cold remedy before a general anaesthetic.
Therefore ban cold remedies.

Therefore ban cold remedies.Yes there has been a recall of a number of a cough and cold medicines some from brands some other not so well known. No ban on cold remedies just a recall on the ones that use PHOLCODINE. I hardly call an ingredient that could cause problems if taken up to 12 months previous a trivial issuefull list here but didn't see lemsips on there.
