The Doctor issued important advice on the ITV show this morning
Doctor Hilary has issued Good Morning Britain viewers advice following the recall of a number of cough medicines.
The doctor explained that 20 medicines are being withdrawn due to the inclusion of ingredient pholcodine, reports The Mirror. Dr Hilary then cited a very rare possibility that people who have taken the medicines could experience an allergic reaction when combined with general anaesthetic. "It’s not going to stop anyone having an operation at all. I have never seen this reaction in 45 years of medical practice. Most doctors won't have," Dr Hilary added.
The risk of reaction is 'tiny', as pointed out by the medical professional before he told Ed Balls he would not throw away these medicines if he found them at home.
