I did talk with Philip Anderson of the drug info center in San Diego, and he
felt it was safe, based on half life, etc.  So does my dear Husband
(pharmacist in residence) - for what this all is worth.  I agree with Alicia,
however, do we really need to run to the pill box when sometimes topical
meds, not to mention chicken soup & hot tea with honey & lemon juice might
help?
