Robitussin doesn't seem as widely available in Australia as it is in America, but I did come across a store in my (very small) town that does sell it, the only problem is that I have been there a lot lately and bought a lot of Robitussin DX syrup.
The pharmacist there gave me a weird look once and my friend has been in to buy it and been asked "How long have you been using this for?" he replied with "A couple of days", then she said "well if you aren't feeling any better soon, then Robitussin won't work for you."
So, I'm pretty sure they know what's up, so I'm looking for other common Australian sources for DXM only products, or something that contains other ingredients that wouldn't be harmful if the DXM was to be taken in recreational doses. At least until the 'heat' cools off from the pharmacy, so I can go back there, without being too suspicious.
I have researched a couple of common Australian Cough and Cold brands, such as Dimetapp, Benadryl, etc. These are a few I've been looking at, would anyone give me advice as to whether they would be good to consume.
This can also serve as a guide as to what DXM products are available in Australia.
Benadryl Dry Forte
200mL
Each 5mL of syrup contains:
• Dextromethorphan hydrobromide 15mg
This seems like one of the best options, considering it has the same ingredients as Robitussin DX, if anyone has used this, please tell me.
Bisolvon Dry
200mL
Each 5mL contains dextromethorphan hydrobromide 10mg
Also contains methyl hydroxybenzoate and saccharin sodium
Not as much DXM as Robitussin DX or the Benadryl mentioned above and also not sure about the other ingredients.
Dimetapp DM Cold And Cough Elixir
200mL
Each 5ml contains: Brompheniramine Maleate 2mg, Phenylephrine Hydrochloride 5mg, Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide 10mg
Same amount of DXM as Bisolvon Dry, yet again, unsure of the other ingredients.
AND JUST FOR THE HELL OF IT, THE MOST AMAZING SOURCE OF DXM EVER!
Robitussin DX Dry Cough Forte
200mL
Each 10mL of oral liquid contains:
Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide 30mg
Pure DXM goodness
I find the taste to be not that bad at all, easy to scoll. Perfect.
GET THIS IF YOU CAN!
I have also been wondering if there are any DXM cough drops or cough gels available in Australia that are suitable for recreation use. Something similar to the Robitussin Cough Gels available in America:
Coricidin Cough and Cold(triple c's) are NOT good to take, they are very dangerous, if you had researched your stuff on erowid.org like a good little girl you would know NOT to.
