Reply to comment by spayder26 in ELI5. Why is honey and lemon a popular cure for cold like symptoms. What makes lemon more effective than say an orange or lime? by alexkid_in_realworld
Completely false that modern cough medicine is “99%” sugar. Maybe don’t give any kind of medical advice over the internet?
Sucrose, Sodium Saccharin, Sodium Benzoate, Alcohol 5% v/v. Each 15mL dose contains 5.55g Sucrose. This should be taken into account by diabetics.

Just in case you don't know, sucrose is sugar, which would make roughly 37% of that thing, which looks like cough syrup.
What nobody is telling you is its water content (medicine doesn't tipically show dry content data) for people like you who doesn't know it and also doesn't understand that ingredients are listed in amount order.
