"caramelos" in Spanish does not refer to taffy-type caramel, rather, hard candy (Strepsils, for example). "Prepared syrup" is also possible for jarabe extemporáneo.

extemporaneous/extemporaneo = untimely, inopportune. Could the material be referring to Expectorant Syrup? Medicinal candy drops (such as cough drops, lozenges) and Expectorant syrup would be my guess for the translation of this material. Just guessing. I have never seen extemporaneous syrup or used it in all my bouts with colds & allergies or sinus infections. HTH
