Cough medicine in the UK is sugar + paracetamol.

My wife's a pharmacists so always laughs at it (and the decongestants) when we visit the UK.

Yep! OTC medicines here are really limited. Although you can always get something stronger from the pharmacist.

I remember being ill in Switzerland and getting something for a nasty cold. I have no idea what it was other than magic in pill form.
