There were rumours that the McCann children had been sedated. These middle-class Mum's medicine of choice seems to be anti-histamines. Could the children have had access to an anti-hitstamine?
and an anti-histamine called Terfenadine for hay fever. He did not give any of these medicines or any others to the children while on holiday in Portugal.

There were RUMOURS and we know who started the rumours don't we, Amaral that's who.
Kate's father said all he had ever seen Gerry and Kate give Madeleine was Calpol, this was taken out of context that they give Calpol to the children to help them sleep. Calpol does not help children sleep it is a pain relief medicine.
The Calpol that Amaral was talking about wasn't even on the market in May 2007.
Amaral took what Kate's Dad said and the fact that the McCann's had taken Calpol with them on holiday as lots of other Mum's do [me included] to concoct a story that Madeleine was 'sedated' on Calpol [Calpol is not a sedative] and that Madeleine woke groggy and fell off the sofa.
