it was prescribed to me for a bad cough im just wondering if it has codeine in it thanks ## One dosage had me very dizzy and woozy for awhile. ## Hi Krusher, Based on my research, this medication does contain Codeine as well as Guaifenesin.

Magnum 357s are an over the counter energy and weight loss supplement. ## white oblong pill #93-490 ## 93 490 contains 650mgs of Acetaminophen and 100mgs of Propoxyphene, a generic for Darvocet, this is a mild, narcotic pain reliever.

Take 1 or 2 teaspoonsful by mouth every 4 hours as needed for cough ## This contains the active ingredients Guaifenesin and Hydrocodone, it is an expectorant and cough suppressant. Since it does contain the narcotic Hydrocodone, there is a chance that it could be habit forming and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and constipation. You can learn more Guaifenesin details here and you can learn more Hydrocodone details here. Are there any comments or questions? Is there anything I can help with?

I took twice the dose of this and I got no relief from my coughing and chest congestion. What now?? ## This contains Codeine, a narcotic that is sometimes used to help relieve coughing and Guaifenesin, a decongestant. That said, doubling up on the dosage can be dangerous, this should only be used according to your doctor's prescribing instructions. Common side effects can include: nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. We are also not medical professionals, so we cannot suggest a possible treatment, have you asked your doctor what they think you should do?

I GOT THIS MED FOR A CHECK INFECTION LAST YEAR. WHY CAN'T MY PHARMACIST FIND IT NOW AND HOW DOES IT COMPARE TO CHERATUSSION AC SYRUP? ## The Hydrocodone APAP shows that it also contains Acetaminophen with the narcotic, this type of syrup/suspension is usually given to treat cough, fever and pain. The only thing it would do for an infection is treat the pain and fever that it may cause, it wouldn't actually treat the infection itself. The Cheratussin AC contains Codeine and Guaifenesin, so it isn't the same, because this would be used mostly to treat cough and cold symptoms. Your pharmacist should be able to find the Hydrocodone/APAP, but do you actually have a prescription for it, or are you just asking them to find it? If you're just asking about it, they may not be giv...

Does Iophen-C NR have aspirin in it? I take 20mg of Xarelto and cannot take any meds with aspirin. ## Hello, Don! How are you? No, this medication does not contain any Aspirin. The active ingredients are Guaifenesin and Codeine, it is a narcotic cough suppressant. This medication has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. So, you should be able to take it, as long as your doctor approves. Is there anything else I can help with?

Can my 8 year old take benadryl if she took cheratussin 3 hours ago. ## Hi, Shelbie! I don't think combining them would be a good idea, unless her doctor recommended that you do so. The reason I am saying this is because the Cheratussin AC contains Guaifenesin and Codeine. The Codeine is a narcotic, so it can cause depression of the central nervous system, especially in children. Learn more Codeine details here and you can learn more Guaifenesin details here. The Benadryl can also cause that, so it may be too much for an 8 year old child and could put them in danger. Learn more Benadryl details here. How is she feeling?

I've found a white oblong pill with rounded ends. It's embossed with "L404" on one side, while the other side is plain. Thank you in advance for any help identifying it. ## I think that the imprint being reported is actually L484 instead of L404. Is it possible that the '8' is just worn down? If so, then the tablet in question is actually just an over the counter pain reliever containing Acetaminophen 500 mg (not a narcotic). NDC 49348-042 among others. Inactive Ingredients: - Carnauba Wax - Starch, Corn - Hypromelloses - Polyethylene Glycols - Povidones - Stearic Acid Ref: DailyMed ## I believe your pill is Acetaminophen 325mg, Dextromethorphan 15mg, Guaifenesin 200mg, phenylephrine 5mg, which are active ingredients in Cold PE Severe Congestion, an OTC combo. #...
