Drowsy Cold Medicine 2015/10/26 17:28
A while ago I had a pretty bad cold that made it so I couldn't sleep at night, the congestion and headache was too bad. I found a cold medicine at SEIMS that was for head, nose, and throat. It made me drowsy, so I only took it at night.

I'm looking to buy it again for night time, but cannot find it. All the cold medicine I was looking at today had caffeine in it. I take it during the day, but I can't take that at night or else I won't sleep.

I THINK it was this brand... 総合かぜ薬

However, when I went to the store, it all said it had caffeine.

Perhaps I am reading some of them wrong or maybe it's another brand. Can anyone suggest a good cold medicine for night time?

総合かぜ薬 is just an ordinary word that means "combination cold remedy" implying that it's a medicine that is good for common colds in general. It's not a brand name.

I Googled "non-caffeine medicine for cold" in Japanese and found this.

According to the article above written in 2013, the following are supposed to not include caffeine.

Hope it helps.
