[edit] This page is inaccurate

It actually said that prior to 2002, the cough and cold variety of coro contained pseudoephedrine rather than chlorpheniramine maleate? wtf? seriously, that is terrible. I remember even way back in like 1999, when i used to pop the skittles it had chlorpheniramine. i removed that. there are a whole lot of other things on this page that need sources/references.

[edit] Availability of Coricidin D

There's something in Coricidin D, it might be the epinephrine, which when taken in high doses can result in weight loos. Some woman in Indiana took a whole box of Coricidin D to lose weight, and sub sequentially died. Now it is nearly impossible, at least in the DC Metro Area, to find a store that carries Coricidin D or any medicine where epinephrine is an active ingredient. I am not sure whether the story is accurate or not, could someone verify this?

[edit] C's, Triple C's, Skittles, Angry Red Trolls, and Red M&M's

C's, Triple C's, Skittles, Angry Red Trolls, and Red M&M's... you're joking right? this is like an old school documentary where everyone says 'wacky weed' instead of pot. needs a reliable reference. --AlexOvShaolin 01:48, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

I've only heard them referred to as Triple C's and Skittles, nothing else.--Ticallion (talk) 01:30, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Do you need ID?

I've been told that you have to be 18 to buy Coricidin, is this true? Everybody I asks gives me an answer that not even they are sure about. I've heard there's no age restriction, I've heard 18, 21...anybody know for sure? --Ticallion (talk) 01:33, 14 January 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Correction

Your body makes epinephrine... the drug in coricidin-d that may cause weight loss is phenylpropanolamine. Its a decongestant within coricidin-d. phenylpropanolamine, if too much is taken, may cause bleeding within the brain in women. If too much is taken may cause death. FDA recommends that consumers do not take any OTC drugs that contains phenylpropanolamine. That's why it's behind the pharmacy counter. D
