These two along with other medications are being taken off the shelf. Another popular banned brand is Corvonia cough mixture, which I've used a few times. Full list on here :

Another stupid over-kill reaction, just because a few tossers who should avoid, it might have an allergic reaction in the operating theatre.
I recently bought a big bottle of Corvonia so I'm ok for a bit but I won't be forking out for some shite cough suppressant that doesn't contain a cough suppressant!!!!!!!
The conspiracy theory folk are trying to tie these in with Covid somehow.
We lost Milk of Mangnesia from the shelves for ages although it did return eventually. Voltarol tablets were removed and never replaced but you can still get the active ingredient Diclofenac Sodium tablets on prescription.
Odd so many medicines which have been on the shelves for years are being removed while the Covid vaccines which were rushed through trials (with falsified results published), still have no approval and are known to cause harms right up to killing people are still being pedalled.
