Abuse of Broncleer on the rise

Broncleer is a common cough syrup that contains codeine, alcohol content, and is known as "Bronco"on the street. The container clearly states that overdose can cause hypotension, cardiac arrest, respiratory failure and a coma among others.

Reports from Zimbabwe state that the authorities say the recent agreement signed with Botswana to prohibit exports follows the epidemic smuggling of Broncleer into the country where people seeking cheaper ways of getting high abuse it.
