   That sentence sounds like boilerplate. A while back they did come out
with that Coricidin Chest Congestion & Cough, which is just 10 mg DXM,
with 200 mg of guaifenesin per gel. As if designed to be the replacement
for CCC when that was necessary. Whatever their monitoring is, they are
keeping details secret.
