At the following link there is more information. What I would do is write down the ingredients on the cough syrup and then Goggle it to see if it has Noscapine in it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noscapine

Noscapine (also known as Narcotine or Anarcotine) is a benzylisoquinoline alkaloid from plants of the Papaveraceae family, without significant painkilling properties. This agent is primarily used for its antitussive (cough-suppressing) effects. It has also been shown to have anticancer activity

Thanks.

I’ve seen that and have done a few searches. The last reference to a USA sold product is for Vicks Dry Cough formula. But that info is out of date as Vicks no longer uses noscapine.

Maybe it’s now a controlled substance or maybe it triggers drug tests (as an opiate) or maybe it’s more expensive than more current drugs. Don’t really know but I wish I could buy some domestically.

I did see an Iranian website offering noscapine but ordering a possibly controlled substance from Iran might raise a flag ot two. ;-)
