LD50 = 306 mg/kg in humans, mild reproductive toxin to women of
childbearing age
Lethal toxicity starts at around 20mg/kg (about 2000mg for a 220lb
person).
I weigh 250lb. I have never had a problem with 50mg of CPM. I mean
100's of trips and never a problem. I perfer it to be in there. It
is amazing with 3 beers. Have I just been honestly lucky or have
there just been alot of 100lb people eating two boxes of this stuff
after a 3 days fast driving in 100 degree weather in a beatup car with
no A.C.? I am honestly asking a question here and not stating for a
fact that is not dangerous at 50mg. I just want to know what the
starting toxicity levels are for a healthy human being. How myuch
will cause me to bleed out of my skin and cause me to convulse and bit
my tounge off. I will never know because I will never take more than
50 mg of it.

Sudden death from Coricidin is not likely. But it can and does
happen, and it can happen at a dose you have used before, without
having had a problem with it before. CPM also interacts with DXM in
various, harmful, ways. Why not use products with only DXM?
