Hi guys, I was wondering if there's anyone out there who could help me out. I've only got some minor spoken Japanese skills, enough to get by, but have no ability to read. I've been sick with a cold for a few days so wen to the pharmacy for some cold and flu medication, is there anyone out there who could translate the contents for me? The pharmacist had english skills about on par with my Japanese...

The most important bit is the contents of different drugs, e.g. paracetamol, codeine, etc

Take 2 capsules 3 times a day.
Good for coughing (seki), runny nose (hanamizu), fever (netsu)
Contains acetominophen, codeine, caffeine, mequitazine (Primalan, an antihistamine), and the other typical stuff like mannitol for flavoring.

Your chances if encountering an actual pharmacist at your local over-the-counter drugstore are roughly equal to those of encountering the actual Peter Cottontail at an Easter egg hunt.

Never assume that everybody in a white smock in a drugstore is an actual trained/licensed/certified/genuine pharmacist.
