Buckley's Original Mixture is a
cough syrup invented in 1919 in
Toronto,
Ontario, Canada, and still produced . Noted for the strongly unpleasant taste referenced by the brand's slogan, its ingredients include
ammonium carbonate,
potassium bicarbonate,
camphor,
menthol,
Canada balsam (
Abies balsamea), sodium cyclamate,
pine needle oil, and a
tincture of
capsicum. It is promoted for relief of coughs and congestion. In March 2017,
Health Canada issued a recall of Buckley's products due to a choking hazard from a faulty plastic seal. The company stopped selling Buckley's DM, which contained
dextromethorphan, in Canada in 2016. However, other mixtures containing this ingredient, such as Buckley's Dry Cough, are still sold. == See also ==
