it seems the main ingredient is menthol 5 mg in my cough drops

they dont have zinc or any vitamins

it doesnt say a limit on the package, most others ive seen, have a limit

so can i take too many?


saw this: (although if i weight around 165 lbs, thats around 75 kg. and 15,000 mcg. which is 15 mg. so 3 lozenges? dafaq? cant be right?)

"Ingested pure menthol can be poisonous - as little as a teaspoonful (1 gram per kilogram of body weight) can be fatal The estimated acceptable daily intake is up to 200 micrograms per kilogram of body weight (Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 1993). Dr. James Duke at the USDA Agricultural Research Center estimates that the LD50 (dose at which half the animals die) for menthol is higher than coffee, oral LD50 in rats of 192 mg/kg (CRC Handbook of Medicinal Herbs, 1987)."
