A member asked:
I bought passionflower drops to try instead of benzodiapemes. however, an ingredient in the drops is grain alcohol. why and is this bad???
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Call manufacturer: I can only guess that some of the ingredients only dissolve in an organic solvent and alcohol is one of them. Alcohol also has sedating effect but a few drops are not going to make a difference except for an alcoholic.
