For those of you who aren’t aware, I am on a mission to debunk at least a small part of Shoppers Drug Mart. This time, it’s Boiron’s Stodal cough mixture.
I hadn’t heard of Stodal before. Apparently it “relieves all types of coughs”, which seems like a pretty bold (and evidence-based claim). This surprised me as it is produced by Boiron, a homeopathic manufacturer. Now there are lots of perfectly good cough medicines out there, even if some of them taste like you’re drinking the products of a high school chemistry experiment. So what does Boiron bring to the table?
