Carbs in Robitussin

[addicted_to_WDW]

I'm at the tail end of a cold, and thus far had managed to get through it without cough syrup. Last night I was coughing so much that I couldn't sleep, so I took a dose of Robintussin DM. How much damage do you think I've done? I'm not worried about it, really, but I'll decrease today's carbs if necessary to try to balance things out a bit.

I would read the label. If there are carbs in it, it should state it.

I don't really think there would be enough to damage your weight loss. The thing I would watch for is if the sugar brings back any cravings. If you start feeling hungry and having those cravings again, you might want to think about going back on induction for a bit to get rid of the cravings.

Hope you're all over your cough soon. Those things can really hang on sometimes.

For the future - Robitussen sells a sugar free cough syrup too. It's right by their other syrups.

Thanks. I plan to get sugar-free Robitussin for my next cold. Fortunately, I got through the day with no sugar cravings and I didn't feel the need to modify my eating. I am curious to know how many carbs are in the regular Robitussin...maybe I'll do some research.
