I have just been given antibiotics for our little boy, who is only just over 1 year old, and was horrified to see that it contains the colouring Sunset Yellow!
It made me really angry, as I have tried my very hardest to avoid giving him any additives at all, and now I have to force feed him one of the worst additives for children! It even says on the bottle that the colouring may cause an allergic reaction, and obviously doesn't mention the hyperactivity issues with it and the fact that it isn't recommended for children.
I just don't understand the reasoning behind adding colourings to medicines - especially those that are not even sold and therefore don't need to look appealing.... and it doesn't even look nice anyway.
I really think there should be some sort of legislation to stop putting unnecessary additives into medicines.
Grrr...![]()
