***"Hold" cough medicine . . . Prolly had ^belladonna^ in it***

Quite possible. Contact had belladonna alkaloids actually, which included atropine, a heart stimulant used in cardiac arrest (in higher concentrations), scopolamine, used as a truth serum in WWII (in higher concentrations), and hyoscyamine, a general calmative also used in pain relief (in higher concentrations).

The general intention was to act as an anticholinergic agent - a drying agent in such small quantities... perfect for a cold!

Contact worked great! 😢 Thank you lawyers for liability threats that forced it off of the market.

Atropine is also one of the immediate injections you give someone exposed to nerve agents. Was another that started with a ‘P” I seem to recall..
