Will clear Ammonia with surfactant be a no-no for DXM extraction?

[Zodiakk]

I am quiet limited in my knowledge in chemistry, but not with Google. My mom recently bought me a tub of Clear ammonia with 2 ingredients. Ammonia [duh] and surfactant.
Will the surfactant harm me?
I am planning on extracting 1 or 2 cheap bottles of the worst tasting syrup I've ever witnessed. I don't have time to go get delsym or risk my money getting pure powder online. I 'need' it by tomorrow if possible, and this is all I have. Should I just repeat junior year and drink the gross syrup?

YEP, drink the syrup.

This is what your looking for :
Clear, Non-Sudsy Ammonia (make sure it has no dyes, no surfactants or perfumes. A quick way to test if it's sudsy or non sudsy is to shake the bottle, if little bubbles gather at the top, it's sudsy. I've noticed that some brands of ammonia will say sudsy, but they're really not. Always test to make sure before you buy it.)

Obviously if it says surfactants on the bottle doesnt matter if it suds up or not, its no good.

Thanks for such an informative answer

Actually can I use a hair dryer to get a solid from the syrup? I made the mistake of not buying it in pill form.

so u ended up doing what??

Surfactant will turn the whole thing into a huge emulsion. That's what a surfactant is designed to do; make non-polar things "soluble"/washable with water.

Well I ended up giving my friend some HBWR seeds, and I drank half a bottle [~250mg] and I decided drinking any more wasn't worth it. Overall we had a great time. Usually I find it irritating to hang with someone that is on a different drug than I am, but this was actually great.
