Pharmacological properties 5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties The necessary amount of drops may be taken directly from a spoon or, if preferred, can be mixed with half a glass of water and the contents of the entire glass should be drunk straightaway. Of the 127 eligible patients not randomised, in 69 cases this was because the patient declined, and 51 of these gave a reason. Most frequent were concerns about the medication (21/51 patients: 5 didn’t want a placebo; 5 were concerned about potential side-effects; 4 didn’t want to take more medicines; 2 didn’t want a herbal medicine; 2 did not want the liquid preparation; 1 did not want the tablets; 2 wanted antibiotics). Second most frequent (12/51) were patients who were too busy to participate or had personal circumstances which would make it difficult (planned holiday, unwell family member). Nine patients felt either that they were too unwell to take part [ 6] or that they were improving and didn’t need to take anything [ 2] or that taking part would make them too anxious [ 1]. Three patients stated that they just didn’t want to be involved in research. Five patients specifically mentioned that they wouldn’t be good at completing the diary and one would have had to travel to another branch surgery of his GP practice to be recruited.In very rare cases (≤ 1/10,000), serious hypersensitivity reactions with swelling of the face, dyspnea and drop of blood pressure may occur. In 2018, the Cochrane Collaboration reviewed six randomized controlled clinical studies that investigated the use of honey to treat acute cough in children. The authors concluded that honey alleviates cough with a greater size effect than diphenhydramine, an antihistamine drug classified as a cough suppressant in the United States, placebo or no treatment and with little or no difference compared to dextromethorphan [ 12].
