Along with sugar free, ' Not suitable for diabetics' is also written in the precautions and warning section. Is it misprinting?
Aoa. I hopeyour sister is doing fine now. Yes, you can continue with this syrup. Please update with your reply how is feeling now. JazakAllah khair
Piriton Syrup just contain 2.36 g of sucrose per 5 ml so there is nothing to be worry . Just keep in mind you are take 2.36g sugar in your medicine so decrease that much amount in your oral intake . And the most important thing is treat underlying cause of cough
