PHUKET: Police and health ministry officials have raided an illegal cough medicine factory in Rassada, north of Phuket Town, seizing more than 21,000 bottles of cough medicine and other materials with an estimated value of B30 million.

 

The raid followed officers from Division 4 of the Royal Thai Police Consumer Protection Crime Suppression Division and officers from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) investigating the source of cough medicine used by suspects caught in Nakhon Sri Thammarat and Phuket with the drug cocktail “4 x 100” (“Four Times One Hundred”).

 

Of note, news of the raid was reported by the Royal Thai Police Consumer Protection Division in Bangkok. Phuket police who took part in the raid have yet to report their role in the joint operation.

All cough medicines are counterfeit......in the sense they don't work.

Jeez, that's 1,428 Baht per bottle.

 

Johnnie Walker by the litre costs less than that and actually works.  And if it doesn't work, you don't care anyway.

They do work. They soothe the throat and reduce inflammation and tenderness and help break down phlegm in the chest and reduce congestion. Physeptome and Colliss browns used to have opiates and ephedrine and were more fun.
