Slippery elm bark throat lozenges: is it actually important to eat one only every 2 hours?

Asked by marmoset (1311points) February 5th, 2012 from iPhone

I’ve got sinusitis and I have some cough drops with slippery elm bark as their only active ingredient. They say “may be repeated every 2 hours.” Really? Is there anything about slippery elm bark that would mean it’s only safe to eat 100mg of it every 2 hours?
