Sir, if your face is red from the use of triple c's, you have a *lot* more to worry about than your reddened face. Here in some info about the risks of this drug:
';What are the risks?
Coricidin HBP products have proven to be safe and effective when users adhere to recommended doses (containing 10 to 30 milligrams of dextromethorphan taken every 6 hours). However, abusers typically consume many times the recommended dose, which produces hallucinations and dissociative effects similar to those experienced with PCP (phencyclidine) or ketamine. While under the influence of the drug, which can last for as long as 6 hours, abusers risk injuring themselves and others because of the drug's effects on visual perception and cognitive processes.
High doses of dextromethorphan result in an increased body temperature, which poses a particularly acute health threat if the drug is used in an environment--such as a rave or dance club--where users are dancing among crowds of people. Other risks associated with dextromethorphan abuse include nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, headache, numbness of fingers and toes, loss of consciousness, seizure, brain damage, and possibly death.
The risks to Triple C abusers are heightened because the medications that are abused contain additional ingredients such as expectorants, pain relievers, and antihistamines that produce additional side effects and compound the risks associated with dextromethorphan.';
