Pharmaton Cough Syrup : Safe for kids?

To all parents and guardians, you might want to be careful of this cough syrup. I just have the urge to highlight this so called 'cough syrup' for kids to the everyone reading this blog. Manage to snap a photo of this bottle syrup but due to poor quality mobile camera, this is the best I could get. 

When I glance through the ingredient list, I was shocked to see that harmful sweeteners such as sorbitol and aspartame are in the mixture of this bottle. Aspartame? This is insane! Why on earth this pharmaceutical company would add an excitotoxin in this so called medicine? An ingredient which could cause brain cancer and multiple sclerosis for kids? Besides, this cough mixture even has sodium benzoate. It's like we are trying to relieve the cough symptom but poisoning the kids at the same time? What is happening here? 

Meanwhile, below are some of the harmful ingredients which is added to this cough syrup. To all the people out there, be extra careful whenever you purchase any so called 'medicine' from pharmacies or even prescribed by doctors. 

Ingredients:  Aspartame, sodium benzoate, sorbitol.
