> Contac,  for  example,  contains belladonna.

Wrong.  Check the label.  Contac dropped the belladonna formulation
many years ago (remember the "New, Improved Formula"?).  These days,
they're straight allergy tablets.

The belladonna formulation is still available in some "house brand"
cold capsules, such as from Lucky supermarkets and SuperX drugstores.
Again, read the labels.

I find that I need the extra "drying power" of belladonna about once
a year.  No noticeable side effects for me except if I take one before
bedtime, then I have some *very* strange dreams :-)
