All Fours - Possibly one for Squad

[nannybooby]

Does anyone know the composition of the mixture sold at the chemists called all fours ? My mum used to buy it to make cough mixture .I think it contained Laudnum but not sure.

No.......but i doubt that it contained Laudanum.

To me "all fours" is a mixture that would contain :

1)Nasal decongestant
2) Cough suppressant
3) Expectorant
4) Antihistamine.

Hence..ALL FOURS.

Plenty do...Benalyn.....Phensedyl ...and many others.
