Re: [MSA] Cold Tablets
Sue,
The name of the cold medicines to avoid are: Phenylpropanolamine HCl and
Phenylephrine HCl. They both could cause your BP to sky rocket.
Ask your doctor about a drug called Guaifenesin ( comes under many brand
names). It simply waters down the mucus and hopefully unplug everything.
Of course you should be on vitamin "C". I read a paper not long ago that
said vitamin "C" at 1000 mg per day could cut a cold down to two or three
days. I am not a doctor, so, check with yours about this.
God Bless,

Sue,
i'm hoping the group will YELL loudly if i'm passing on bad info, but have you
heard of the new type cough drop/lozenge called COLD-EZE? i'm allergic to most
cold remedies, so always suffer when battling a cold, but i found these cough
drops and they really made a difference! but PLEASE PLEASE, check their
ingredients, and ask your neuro's office! good luck.
Thanks for the info!!
Sue
Yes I heard of cold -eze, and I'll check before taking them. Thanks, Sue
